Is It Time For 2008 Chrysler Pacifica Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2008 Chrysler Pacifica, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Pacifica feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Chrysler Pacifica in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chrysler Pacifica suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler Pacifica Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Chrysler Pacifica suspension system. 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 2008 Chrysler Pacifica’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chrysler Pacifica shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Pacifica’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Pacifica Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chrysler's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler Pacifica? 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 does Chrysler Pacifica 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 Pacifica’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chrysler Pacifica bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Pacifica 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.
  • Why does my Pacifica's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Pacifica's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Chrysler Pacifica shocks feel like? If your Pacifica shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Pacifica might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
