When To Get 2022 Ram 1500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2022 Ram 1500, 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 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2022 Ram 1500, bring it 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 1500 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ram 1500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2022 Ram 1500’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2022 Ram 1500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ram 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2022 Ram 1500 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2022 1500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 1500's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ram 1500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ram intended.
  • When should I have my Ram 1500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 1500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ram service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ram 1500 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Ram 1500 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.
  • Why does my 1500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 1500'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 shocks feel like? If your 1500 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 1500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
