Does Your 1996 Dodge Stealth Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1996 Dodge Stealth, 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 Stealth feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1996 Dodge Stealth in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Stealth suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Stealth’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 Stealth Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1996 Dodge Stealth’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1996 Dodge Stealth’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Stealth shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1996 Dodge Stealth suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1996 Dodge Stealth Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Stealth? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Stealth power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Stealth’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 Stealth bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Stealth 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Stealth to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Stealth 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Stealth need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Stealth feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Stealth travels over minor bumps.
