Does Your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Grand Cherokee jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Grand Cherokee 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 Grand Cherokee Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Grand Cherokee Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. 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. 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 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jeep's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Jeep Grand Cherokee to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Grand Cherokee to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Grand Cherokee tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Grand Cherokee 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 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.
