When To Get 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your PT Cruiser jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chrysler PT Cruiser’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chrysler PT Cruiser

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chrysler PT Cruiser shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your PT Cruiser’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 PT Cruiser 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.
  • Why should my Chrysler PT Cruiser get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 PT Cruiser power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your PT Cruiser’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chrysler PT Cruiser bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your PT Cruiser 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 PT Cruiser tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your PT Cruiser 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chrysler PT Cruiser shocks? Worn PT Cruiser shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your PT Cruiser might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your PT Cruiser shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
