Is It Time For 2019 Fiat 500X Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2019 Fiat 500X, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 500X feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2019 Fiat 500X in for suspension and steering service. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Fiat 500X 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 500X Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 Fiat 500X 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 500X’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Fiat 500X shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 Fiat 500X’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 500X 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Fiat 500X 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Fiat intended.
  • When should I have my Fiat 500X power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 500X is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Fiat's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Fiat 500X 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 500X to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 500X's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Fiat 500X shocks feel like? 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.
