When To Get 2023 Fiat 500X Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2023 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 jolts, drifts 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 2023 Fiat 500X, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your 500X steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Fiat 500X Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Fiat 500X suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2023 Fiat 500X shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Fiat 500X shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Fiat 500X suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2023 Fiat 500X Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Why should my Fiat 500X get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Fiat intended.
  • 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’ll top it off per Fiat's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Fiat 500X bouncing excessively? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 500X when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Fiat 500X shocks feel like? Worn 500X shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 500X might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 500X shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
