Does Your 2009 Jeep Compass Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Jeep Compass, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Compass bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2009 Jeep Compass 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Compass suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Jeep Compass’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jeep Compass Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Jeep Compass suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2009 Jeep Compass shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jeep Compass shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 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 2009 Jeep Compass Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jeep's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jeep Compass? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 should I have my Jeep Compass power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Compass’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jeep's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jeep Compass 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 Compass to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Compass tilt forward 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 Compass shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Compass might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Compass shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
