Is It Time For 1989 Dodge W150 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1989 Dodge W150, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your W150 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1989 Dodge W150 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your W150 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge W150 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1989 Dodge W150’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1989 Dodge W150 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge W150 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Dodge W150’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1989 Dodge W150 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 W150 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When does Dodge W150 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 W150 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge W150 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your W150 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 W150 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 W150 need replacing? Worn W150 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your W150 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your W150 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
