When To Get 2023 Dodge Hornet Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2023 Dodge Hornet, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Hornet jolts, pulls 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 2023 Dodge Hornet, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Hornet suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Hornet steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Hornet Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Dodge Hornet suspension system. 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 Dodge up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Hornet’s shocks and struts 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 indicators of worn Dodge Hornet shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Dodge Hornet suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2023 Dodge Hornet Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Dodge Hornet get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Hornet power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Hornet is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge Hornet bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Hornet might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Hornet's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Hornet 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 Dodge Hornet shocks? If your Hornet 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 Hornet might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
