Is It Time For 2019 Fiat 500 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2019 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, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2019 Fiat 500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 Fiat 500 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2019 Fiat 500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Fiat 500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 Fiat 500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2019 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. 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Fiat intended.
  • Does my Fiat 500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Fiat's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Fiat 500 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Fiat 500 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • 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 do I know if I have worn Fiat 500 shocks? Worn 500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
