Is It Time For 1984 Dodge W250 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1984 Dodge W250, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your W250 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1984 Dodge W250 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your W250 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 Dodge W250’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge W250 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Dodge W250’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Dodge W250 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge W250 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your W250’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 Dodge W250 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my W250's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Dodge W250 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. 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.
  • Does my Dodge W250 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 W250 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge W250 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge W250 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my W250 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your W250 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge W250 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your W250 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your W250 travels over minor bumps.
