When To Get 2012 Chrysler 300 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2012 Chrysler 300, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 300 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2012 Chrysler 300 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 300 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler 300 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 Chrysler 300 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chrysler up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2012 Chrysler 300 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 300 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chrysler's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • When should I have my Chrysler 300 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 300’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chrysler 300 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 300 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 300 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 300 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chrysler 300 shocks? 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.
