Does Your 1983 Dodge Ramcharger Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Dodge Ramcharger, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Ramcharger jolts, pulls 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 1983 Dodge Ramcharger, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Ramcharger suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Dodge Ramcharger suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ramcharger Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Dodge Ramcharger suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ramcharger’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge Ramcharger shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Dodge Ramcharger’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1983 Ramcharger Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ramcharger's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Ramcharger? 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 Ramcharger power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Ramcharger is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Ramcharger 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 Ramcharger to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Ramcharger to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Ramcharger'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.
  • What do worn Dodge Ramcharger shocks feel like? Worn Ramcharger 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.
