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 help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Fiat 500X?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Fiat 500X power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

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 can fill it per Fiat's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Fiat 500X bouncing so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Fiat 500X 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 500X tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

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.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Fiat 500X need replacing?

If your 500X 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 500X might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Is It Time For 2021 Fiat 500X Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2021 Fiat 500X, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 500X feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Fiat 500X in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 500X suspension system needs repair, 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 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Fiat 500X suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Fiat 500X shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Fiat 500X shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 500X’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
