Does Your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your PT Cruiser feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your PT Cruiser suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chrysler PT Cruiser 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 PT Cruiser Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chrysler PT Cruiser shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser suspension 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.

2010 PT Cruiser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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 PT Cruiser? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Chrysler intended.
  • Does my Chrysler PT Cruiser power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chrysler PT Cruiser bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your PT Cruiser to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my PT Cruiser to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your PT Cruiser 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 PT Cruiser shocks? If your PT Cruiser 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 PT Cruiser might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
