When To Get 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Ram 2500 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Ram 2500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ram 2500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your 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.

Questions About 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ram 2500's steering and 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Dodge Ram 2500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Ram 2500’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 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Ram 2500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy 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 shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ram 2500 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 travels over minor bumps.
