Is It Time For 2017 Fiat 500X Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2017 Fiat 500X, 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 500X bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Fiat 500X in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 500X suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 500X steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Fiat 500X Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Fiat 500X suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Fiat 500X’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Fiat 500X shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Fiat 500X’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 500X Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Fiat 500X? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Fiat intended.
  • Does my Fiat 500X 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Fiat service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Fiat 500X to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 500X to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 500X front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 500X 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 500X shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 500X feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 500X travels over minor bumps.
