Is It Time For 2020 Fiat 124 Spider Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2020 Fiat 124 Spider, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 124 Spider jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2020 Fiat 124 Spider 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your Fiat 124 Spider 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.

Fiat 124 Spider Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Fiat 124 Spider’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 Fiat up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 124 Spider’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Fiat 124 Spider shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Fiat 124 Spider’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2020 124 Spider Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Fiat's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Fiat 124 Spider 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 124 Spider is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Fiat's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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.
  • Why does my 124 Spider tilt forward when I hit 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 124 Spider shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
