When To Get 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500, 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 3500 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Ram 3500 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Ram 3500

Your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Ram 3500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Ram 3500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ram 3500's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 3500? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When does Dodge Ram 3500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 3500 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Ram 3500 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.
  • Why does my Ram 3500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Ram 3500'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 3500 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ram 3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ram 3500 travels over minor bumps.
