Dodge Stratus Shocks & Struts

Elegant and stylish, the Dodge Stratus was launched in 1995, superseding the boxy and outdated Dynasty and Spirit in Dodge's lineup. In 2001, a coupe version of the Stratus supplanted another model, the Avenger. The Dodge Stratus was sold well, and both critics and buyers praised a good balance between performance, comfort, and fuel economy. The suspension is directly responsible for handling, cornering, and comfort; among suspension components, shocks and struts are especially vital and vulnerable. As for the Dodge Stratus, some problems with the rear struts were reported: the strut mounts tend to rust out and break, jeopardizing the overall safety, so it's better to keep an eye on them.

Both shocks and struts are basically oil pumps, and they convert energy coming from springs and road irregularities into heat through the hydraulic fluid. While shocks can be not directly connected to the springs, a strut assembly implies using a shock absorber inside the coil spring and performs a structural function in the suspension system. But anyway, the symptoms of the faulty shocks and struts are similar – excessive bouncing and affected handling.
