Is It Time For 1995 Dodge Stratus Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1995 Dodge Stratus, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Stratus jolts, 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 1995 Dodge Stratus in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Stratus suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Dodge Stratus suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Stratus

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1995 Dodge Stratus suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Stratus’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Dodge Stratus shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Stratus’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1995 Stratus Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Stratus's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Stratus? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Stratus 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 Stratus is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Stratus bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Stratus 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 Stratus tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Stratus 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge Stratus shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Stratus feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Stratus travels over minor bumps.
