Is It Time For 1983 Dodge Rampage Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1983 Dodge Rampage, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Rampage 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 1983 Dodge Rampage, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Rampage 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 Rampage

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Dodge Rampage suspension system. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Dodge Rampage shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Rampage shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Dodge Rampage’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1983 Rampage Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Rampage? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Rampage 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 Rampage’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Rampage 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 Rampage to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Rampage to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Rampage 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 Rampage are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Rampage feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Rampage travels over minor bumps.
