Is It Time For 2014 Fiat 500L Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2014 Fiat 500L, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 500L jolts, 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 2014 Fiat 500L 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 500L suspension system needs repair, 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 500L 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 500L Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Fiat 500L’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 2014 Fiat 500L’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Fiat 500L shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Fiat 500L suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2014 500L Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Fiat's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 500L? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Fiat 500L power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 500L is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Fiat service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Fiat 500L 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.
  • Why does my 500L front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Fiat 500L shocks feel like? If your 500L 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 500L might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
