Does Your 1989 Dodge W250 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Dodge W250, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your W250 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Dodge W250, bring it 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Dodge W250 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your W250’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 W250 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge W250 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your W250 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge W250 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your W250 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my W250's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge W250 need replacing? Worn W250 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your W250 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your W250 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
