When To Get 2011 Jeep Compass Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2011 Jeep Compass, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Compass feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2011 Jeep Compass in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Compass steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jeep Compass Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Jeep Compass’s suspension. 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 2011 Jeep Compass shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jeep Compass shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Jeep Compass suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2011 Jeep Compass Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Compass'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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jeep Compass? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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.
  • When should I have my Jeep Compass power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Compass is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jeep service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jeep Compass bouncing excessively? 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 dip in the front end of your Compass 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jeep Compass are bad? 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.
