Does Your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2016 Jeep Cherokee, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Cherokee bounces, drifts 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 2016 Jeep Cherokee in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Cherokee suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Jeep Cherokee 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.

Jeep Cherokee Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2016 Jeep Cherokee’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jeep up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Jeep Cherokee shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Jeep Cherokee shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Jeep Cherokee’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2016 Cherokee Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cherokee's steering and 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 Jeep Cherokee? 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 Jeep intended.
  • When should I have my Jeep Cherokee power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Cherokee is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jeep's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Jeep Cherokee 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 Cherokee to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Cherokee front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jeep Cherokee shocks? Worn Cherokee shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
