Is It Time For 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Ram 3500 Van feels bouncy, leans 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 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Ram 3500 Van suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Dodge Ram 3500 Van suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Ram 3500 Van

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge Ram 3500 Van shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1999 Ram 3500 Van Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Dodge Ram 3500 Van get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 should I have my Dodge Ram 3500 Van power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 3500 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.
  • Why does my Ram 3500 Van tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Ram 3500 Van when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge Ram 3500 Van shocks? If your Ram 3500 Van shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Ram 3500 Van might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
