Top 5 Signs Your RAM Truck Needs Suspension Work
Your RAM truck is built to take on Texas terrain—from hauling feed across dusty ranch roads to cruising down I-35 with a trailer in tow. But even the toughest suspension systems wear down over time. At SouthWest CDJR in Cleburne, we’ve seen it all—from subtle signs to full-blown suspension failures. So how do you know when it’s time to bring your RAM in for a suspension check?
Here are the top 5 signs your RAM truck might be crying out for help—and why ignoring them could cost you more than just comfort.
1. Uneven Tire Wear That Doesn’t Add Up
If your tires look like they’ve been chewed on by a jackrabbit—cupping, scalloping, or bald spots—your suspension may be failing to keep your wheels aligned. Worn shocks, struts, or bushings can cause your tires to bounce or tilt, leading to uneven tread wear.
What to look for:
- Tread depth differences across tires
- Increased road noise
- Vibration at highway speeds
Why it matters: Uneven wear shortens tire life and compromises traction, especially in wet Texas weather.
2. The “Bounce Test” Tells No Lies
RAM trucks are designed to absorb impact, not amplify it. If your ride feels like a trampoline—or if your truck rebounds more than once when you push down on the hood or tailgate—it’s likely your shocks or struts are worn.
Try this:
Push down firmly on each corner of your truck. If it bounces more than once, it’s time for a suspension inspection.
Bonus tip: Look for fluid leaks around shock mounts. That’s a telltale sign they’re on their way out.

What Makes the 2025 Dodge Hornet Unique?
Unlike most vehicles in its class, the Hornet doesn’t shy away from its muscle car DNA. Dodge has infused this compact SUV with aggressive styling, turbocharged power, and a driver-focused cockpit that feels more like a sports sedan than a suburban runabout.
