When To Get 2015 Fiat 500 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2015 Fiat 500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 500 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 Fiat 500 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your 500 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Fiat 500

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 Fiat 500 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Fiat up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2015 Fiat 500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Fiat 500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Fiat 500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2015 Fiat 500 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Fiat'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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Fiat 500? 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 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Fiat's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Fiat 500 bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 500 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 Fiat 500 shocks? 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.
