Questions About 2012 Ram 1500 Steering & Suspension

• Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 1500's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 should my Ram 1500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
• Does my Ram 1500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 1500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ram's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
• Why is my Ram 1500 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 1500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
• Why does my 1500 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 1500 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ram 1500 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 1500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 1500 travels over minor bumps.
