Is It Time For 2016 Dodge Viper Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Dodge Viper, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Viper feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Dodge Viper 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Viper suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Viper steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Viper Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Dodge Viper suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Dodge Viper’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Dodge Viper shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Dodge Viper suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2016 Viper Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Viper? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Viper 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 Viper’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Viper bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Viper to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Viper are bad? 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.
