When To Get 1994 Dodge Shadow Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1994 Dodge Shadow, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Shadow feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1994 Dodge Shadow in for suspension and steering service. 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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Shadow’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 Shadow Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Dodge Shadow’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Shadow’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Shadow shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Dodge Shadow suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1994 Shadow Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Dodge Shadow get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 should I have my Dodge Shadow power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Shadow is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Shadow bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Shadow 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 Shadow tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Shadow 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 do worn Dodge Shadow shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Shadow feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Shadow travels over minor bumps.
