When To Get 2007 Jeep Compass Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2007 Jeep Compass, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Compass bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Jeep Compass 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Compass steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jeep Compass

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Jeep Compass’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2007 Jeep Compass’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Jeep Compass shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 Jeep Compass suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2007 Jeep Compass Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Compass's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 Jeep Compass 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 come into contact with the road in the way Jeep intended.
  • Does my Jeep Compass power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Jeep's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jeep Compass bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Compass goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Compass's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Compass'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Jeep Compass need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Compass feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Compass travels over minor bumps.
