Does Your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Van Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Van, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Ram 3500 Van feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Van, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Ram 3500 Van steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Ram 3500 Van Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Van’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Van shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Ram 3500 Van shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Van’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 Ram 3500 Van Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ram 3500 Van's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Ram 3500 Van? 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.
  • Does my Dodge Ram 3500 Van power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of 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 3500 Van bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Ram 3500 Van 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 3500 Van to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What do worn Dodge Ram 3500 Van shocks feel like? Worn Ram 3500 Van shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ram 3500 Van might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ram 3500 Van shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
