When To Get 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ram 2500 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Ram 2500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Dodge Ram 2500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ram 2500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 2500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Ram 2500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1998 Ram 2500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Ram 2500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Ram 2500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Ram 2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 2500 bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Ram 2500 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Ram 2500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Ram 2500 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge Ram 2500 shocks? Worn Ram 2500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ram 2500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ram 2500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
