When To Get 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2022 Ram 1500 Classic, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 1500 Classic feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2022 Ram 1500 Classic in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, 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 problem and, if your 1500 Classic suspension system needs repair, 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 1500 Classic steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ram 1500 Classic Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2022 Ram 1500 Classic’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 1500 Classic’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ram 1500 Classic shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2022 Ram 1500 Classic’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2022 1500 Classic Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ram's 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 Ram 1500 Classic 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 Ram intended.
  • When does Ram 1500 Classic 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 1500 Classic is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ram service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ram 1500 Classic bouncing excessively? 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 do worn Ram 1500 Classic shocks feel like? Worn 1500 Classic shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
