Does Your 1987 Dodge Ramcharger Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1987 Dodge Ramcharger, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ramcharger jolts, leans 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 1987 Dodge Ramcharger in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Dodge Ramcharger’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ramcharger Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 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 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. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward 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. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1987 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 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 Ramcharger? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Dodge Ramcharger power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Ramcharger is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Dodge Ramcharger to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • Why does my Ramcharger front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Ramcharger are bad? If your Ramcharger shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Ramcharger might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
