Does Your 2000 Dodge Viper Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2000 Dodge Viper, 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 Viper bounces, 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 2000 Dodge Viper in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your Dodge Viper 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.

Dodge Viper Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Dodge Viper’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2000 Dodge Viper’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Dodge Viper shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Viper’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 Viper Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Viper? 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 Viper 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 Viper is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge Viper bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Viper to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Viper'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 Viper need replacing? If your Viper shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Viper might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
