Does Your 2001 Chrysler Prowler Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2001 Chrysler Prowler, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Prowler bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Chrysler Prowler in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Prowler steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler Prowler Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2001 Chrysler Prowler’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 2001 Chrysler Prowler’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chrysler Prowler shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Chrysler Prowler suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Prowler Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler Prowler? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • When does Chrysler Prowler power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Prowler is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chrysler Prowler bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Prowler 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 Prowler tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Prowler 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.
  • What do worn Chrysler Prowler shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Prowler feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Prowler travels over minor bumps.
