Questions About 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Van Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Ram 2500 Van? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Dodge Ram 2500 Van power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Ram 2500 Van’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 2500 Van bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Ram 2500 Van to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Ram 2500 Van are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ram 2500 Van feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ram 2500 Van travels over minor bumps.
