What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jeep's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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. 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.

Does my Jeep Compass power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Compass’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Jeep's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Jeep Compass bouncing so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

What can cause the front end of my Compass to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Compass combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Jeep Compass need replacing?

If your Compass shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Compass might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Does Your 2021 Jeep Compass Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Jeep Compass, 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 Compass bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 Jeep Compass, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Jeep Compass suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 2021 Jeep Compass’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jeep Compass shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Jeep Compass suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
