Does Your 2006 Dodge Stratus Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Dodge Stratus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Stratus jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 Dodge Stratus in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Stratus 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.

Dodge Stratus Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Dodge Stratus suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Dodge Stratus’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the 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 regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 Stratus Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Stratus 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 Stratus’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Stratus bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Stratus to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Stratus's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Stratus need replacing? Worn Stratus shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Stratus might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Stratus shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
