Is It Time For 2006 Chrysler 300 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Chrysler 300, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 300 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 Chrysler 300 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chrysler 300’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.

Chrysler 300 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2006 Chrysler 300’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 Chrysler up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Chrysler 300’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chrysler 300 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 300’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 300 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chrysler 300? 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.
  • When does Chrysler 300 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 300’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chrysler 300 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 300 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 300 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 300 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Chrysler 300 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 300 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 300 travels over minor bumps.
