When To Get 2017 Dodge Viper Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2017 Dodge Viper, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Viper bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2017 Dodge Viper, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Viper suspension system needs repair, 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 Viper 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 Viper Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2017 Dodge Viper’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Viper’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Viper shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Dodge Viper suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2017 Dodge Viper Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Viper'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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Dodge Viper get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 should I have my Dodge Viper power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Viper is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Dodge Viper to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Viper's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Viper's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Dodge Viper shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Viper feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Viper travels over minor bumps.
