Signs that Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram Vehicle Has Poor Shocks or Struts
First of all, every car, truck, or SUV will need new shocks or struts every 50,000 miles, and you can confirm your vehicle's specifications in your owner's manual. However, there are other signs to be wary of. If your vehicle is bouncing all over the road - especially after hitting a small pothole or simply when driving along a moderately uncomfortable stretch of road - it's a big red flag indicating that your shocks or struts need service. With good shocks/struts, your vehicle should be able to navigate relatively uncomfortable terrain and minor potholes easily. Steering problems are also a major indicator - if you notice that it's difficult to turn your vehicle, or if your vehicle feels as if it's leaning when you attempt to turn, this is another sign that it needs service. Braking problems can potentially be indicators of poor shocks or struts as well, especially if your vehicle feels like it's lurching forward when applying the brakes.
Why Shocks and Struts are so Important for Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram Vehicle
A suspension system in a state of disrepair makes for an uncomfortable ride for you and your passengers and makes the roads much more dangerous not only for yourself but those you share the roads with. Not only does neglecting shock and strut replacement service leave you open to much worse and more expensive damage to your vehicle, but it also means that you are a hazard on the road to other drivers, as your vehicle is not able to be operated in a way where you have total control. Don't put off this service until later.
