Is It Time For 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Grand Cherokee feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for suspension and steering service. 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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Grand Cherokee Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Grand Cherokee's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jeep Grand Cherokee? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Grand Cherokee’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Jeep service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Jeep Grand Cherokee to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Grand Cherokee goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Grand Cherokee tilt forward 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.
