When To Get 2013 Fiat 500 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2013 Fiat 500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 500 bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2013 Fiat 500, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle 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 your Fiat 500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Fiat 500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Fiat 500’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 500’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Fiat 500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2013 500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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 500? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Fiat intended.
  • When does Fiat 500 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 500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Fiat service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Fiat 500 bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my 500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 500 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Fiat 500 are bad? If your 500 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 500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
