Default Noisy Ride

Hi everyone, I just purchased a 2013 Dodge Dart limited for my wife, has 98000 miles on it but the motor was replaced with a new one by the Dodge dealership at 94000 miles (I have the work order) anyway the car seems to have noisy suspension, is this common among these cars or does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks for any comments

What do you mean by noisy? Did you buy a warranty? Take it back to where you bought it and show them.

I bought it from a private party, it's not real noisy it's just when you go over bumps it's just not as smooth as our Toyota Camry, we had a 2005 Chrysler Sebring and it was similar in noise to the dart

Hi Dart Dave, what size and brand name of tire are you running with? I have a 2014 GT with the the 18 inch wheel. The GT has very firm suspension and the original tires rode as if they were made of wood instead of rubber. When they wore out I had installed Cooper Zeon RS3-A Tire. Much quieter/smooth and handle decently. Road noise dropped as well. I think the Limited has 17 inch wheels and more of a touring type suspension, when it comes time to replace the tires, do some research on tires that fit your taste and budget. It really made a difference for us.

cheers

Thank you for the advice, yes I am running 17 inch tires and it has bridgestone potenza sport tires, I don't know if these are touring tires or not.
