Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ram's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ram 3500?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my Ram 3500 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 3500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ram service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Ram 3500 bouncing excessively?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

Why does my 3500 front end dip forward when I brake?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 3500'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.

How do I know if I have worn Ram 3500 shocks?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 3500 travels over minor bumps.

Is It Time For 2021 Ram 3500 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2021 Ram 3500, 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 3500 bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Ram 3500 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 3500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ram 3500’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ram 3500

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Ram 3500 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 2021 Ram 3500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ram 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 3500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
