Is It Time For 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van, 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 3500 Van feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ram 3500 Van steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ram 3500 Van Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ram 3500 Van’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 3500 Van shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Ram 3500 Van 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 alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Ram 3500 Van? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Ram 3500 Van power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Ram 3500 Van’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Ram 3500 Van bounce 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 3500 Van to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Ram 3500 Van front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Ram 3500 Van need replacing? Worn Ram 3500 Van shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
