When To Get 1991 Jeep Cherokee Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1991 Jeep Cherokee, 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 Cherokee feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Jeep Cherokee, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Cherokee suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jeep Cherokee suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jeep Cherokee Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1991 Jeep Cherokee’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1991 Jeep Cherokee shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Jeep Cherokee shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cherokee’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1991 Jeep Cherokee Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jeep's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Jeep Cherokee 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Jeep intended.
  • Does my Jeep Cherokee power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cherokee is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jeep service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jeep Cherokee bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Cherokee to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Cherokee's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cherokee 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Jeep Cherokee are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cherokee feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cherokee travels over minor bumps.
