Does Your 2023 Ram 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2023 Ram 1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 1500 jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2023 Ram 1500 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ram 1500’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.

Ram 1500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2023 Ram 1500’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ram up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2023 Ram 1500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ram 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Ram 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2023 1500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ram 1500? 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.
  • Does my Ram 1500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ram's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ram 1500 to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 1500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 1500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • 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.
