When To Get 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Grand Cherokee feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension system. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jeep's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why should my Jeep Grand Cherokee 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Grand Cherokee is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jeep's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jeep Grand Cherokee to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Grand Cherokee's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Grand Cherokee 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks? Worn Grand Cherokee shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Grand Cherokee might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Grand Cherokee shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
