Does Your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sprinter 2500 bounces, pulls 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 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sprinter 2500 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 your Sprinter 2500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Sprinter 2500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 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 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 Sprinter 2500’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Sprinter 2500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 Steering & Suspension

  • 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 alert you to the need for 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 Sprinter 2500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my Dodge Sprinter 2500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sprinter 2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Dodge Sprinter 2500 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sprinter 2500 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 Sprinter 2500 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sprinter 2500 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Dodge Sprinter 2500 shocks feel like? Worn Sprinter 2500 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.
  • Who can repair my Sprinter 2500 suspension system? When you need your Sprinter 2500 suspension system serviced, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. We inspect, maintain, and repair Sprinter 2500 suspensions. Schedule your appointment today!
