Is It Time For 1984 Dodge Ramcharger Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1984 Dodge Ramcharger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Ramcharger feels bouncy, sways 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 1984 Dodge Ramcharger in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Ramcharger

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Dodge Ramcharger’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 Ramcharger’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge Ramcharger shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Ramcharger’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 Ramcharger Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Dodge Ramcharger get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Dodge Ramcharger power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Ramcharger’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Dodge Ramcharger bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Ramcharger 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 Ramcharger to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Ramcharger 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Ramcharger need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ramcharger feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ramcharger travels over minor bumps.
