Is It Time For 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 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 Grand Cherokee jolts, 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 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Grand Cherokee steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jeep up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2006 Grand Cherokee Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Grand Cherokee's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Jeep Grand Cherokee get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 connect with the road how Jeep intended.
  • 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 follow Jeep service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee bounce 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.
  • Why does my Grand Cherokee's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Grand Cherokee'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 do worn Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks feel like? Worn Grand Cherokee shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
