Does Your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sprinter 3500 jolts, leans 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 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500 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 dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sprinter 3500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Sprinter 3500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Sprinter 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500 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 3500 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When does Dodge Sprinter 3500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sprinter 3500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Sprinter 3500 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Sprinter 3500 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.
  • Why does my Sprinter 3500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sprinter 3500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Sprinter 3500 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sprinter 3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sprinter 3500 travels over minor bumps.
