Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 1500 Classic's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Ram 1500 Classic?

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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my Ram 1500 Classic 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 1500 Classic is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ram's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How do I know if I have worn Ram 1500 Classic shocks?

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.

When To Get 2023 Ram 1500 Classic Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2023 Ram 1500 Classic, 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. Perhaps your 1500 Classic feels bouncy, sways 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 2023 Ram 1500 Classic in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 1500 Classic suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ram 1500 Classic suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ram 1500 Classic Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Ram 1500 Classic suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2023 Ram 1500 Classic shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
