Is It Time For 2014 Fiat 500 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2014 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 2014 Fiat 500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 parts of your Fiat 500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Fiat 500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Fiat 500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 500’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Fiat 500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Fiat 500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2014 500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 500's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why should my Fiat 500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 500’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Fiat's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Fiat 500 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 500 tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Fiat 500 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 500 travels over minor bumps.
