When To Get 2019 Jeep Compass Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2019 Jeep Compass, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Compass bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2019 Jeep Compass, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Compass suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Jeep Compass Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 Jeep Compass suspension system. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Compass’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, 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 2019 Jeep Compass suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2019 Jeep Compass Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jeep's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Compass power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Compass’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Jeep service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Jeep Compass bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Jeep Compass might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Compass tilt forward 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.
