Is It Time For 2002 Chrysler Sebring Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2002 Chrysler Sebring, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sebring bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2002 Chrysler Sebring, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. 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 parts of your Chrysler Sebring suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler Sebring Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Chrysler Sebring’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2002 Chrysler Sebring shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chrysler Sebring shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Chrysler Sebring’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.

Questions About 2002 Chrysler Sebring Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler Sebring? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Chrysler Sebring 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 Sebring is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chrysler Sebring bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sebring to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sebring tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sebring'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chrysler Sebring shocks? Worn Sebring shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sebring might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sebring shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
