Does Your 2016 Fiat 500L Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2016 Fiat 500L, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 500L jolts, drifts 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 2016 Fiat 500L, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, shocks, coil 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 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 your Fiat 500L’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Fiat 500L Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Fiat 500L’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Fiat 500L shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Fiat 500L shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Fiat 500L’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Fiat 500L Steering & Suspension

  • 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 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.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Fiat intended.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Fiat's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Fiat 500L bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 500L to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Fiat 500L are bad? Worn 500L shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
