Does Your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic, 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 1500 Classic jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ram 1500 Classic’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ram 1500 Classic

Your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic’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 limit vibration and keep your Ram up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Ram 1500 Classic shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ram 1500 Classic shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 1500 Classic’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 1500 Classic Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ram's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ram 1500 Classic? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Ram 1500 Classic power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 1500 Classic is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ram's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Ram 1500 Classic bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 1500 Classic to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 1500 Classic front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 1500 Classic'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ram 1500 Classic need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 1500 Classic feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 1500 Classic travels over minor bumps.
