When To Get 2018 Ram 2500 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2018 Ram 2500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 2500 bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Ram 2500 in for suspension and steering service. 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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 2500 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 Ram 2500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ram 2500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Ram 2500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 2018 Ram 2500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ram 2500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Ram 2500 suspension 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.

2018 2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ram's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ram 2500? 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 should I have my Ram 2500 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ram's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ram 2500 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 2500 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 2500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 2500 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 do worn Ram 2500 shocks feel like? Worn 2500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 2500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 2500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
