Does Your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ram 2500 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Ram 2500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Ram 2500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward 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 inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 Ram 2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 2500 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Ram 2500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Ram 2500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Ram 2500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Ram 2500 are bad? 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.
