Is It Time For 2018 Fiat 500L Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 Fiat 500L, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 500L feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Fiat 500L, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle 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 parts of your Fiat 500L suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Fiat 500L Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Fiat 500L suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 500L’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Fiat 500L shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 500L’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Fiat 500L Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Fiat's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why should my Fiat 500L 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. 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 500L power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 500L’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Fiat's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Fiat 500L bouncing so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 500L to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Fiat 500L need replacing? 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.
