When To Get 2019 Fiat 500L Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2019 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 bounces, pulls 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 2019 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, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 500L suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 500L steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Fiat 500L

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 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 limit vibration and keep your Fiat up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2019 Fiat 500L shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side 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 inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 500L Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Fiat 500L? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Fiat intended.
  • When should I have my Fiat 500L power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 500L is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Fiat service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Fiat 500L bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Fiat 500L 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.
  • Why does my 500L's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Fiat 500L are bad? 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.
