Does Your 1991 Dodge W250 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Dodge W250, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your W250 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 1991 Dodge W250 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 parts of your Dodge W250 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge W250 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Dodge W250’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your W250’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, 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. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1991 W250 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my W250's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge W250? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Dodge W250 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your W250 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge W250 bouncing so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my W250 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your W250 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Dodge W250 shocks feel like? If your W250 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 W250 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
