Does Your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 124 Spider feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Fiat 124 Spider’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 Fiat 124 Spider

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Fiat 124 Spider’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2017 Fiat 124 Spider shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Fiat 124 Spider shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 124 Spider’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 124 Spider Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Fiat's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Fiat 124 Spider? 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 connect with the road how Fiat intended.
  • When does Fiat 124 Spider 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 124 Spider is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Fiat's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Fiat 124 Spider to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 124 Spider to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 124 Spider to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 124 Spider 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Fiat 124 Spider need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 124 Spider feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 124 Spider travels over minor bumps.
