When To Get 2003 Jeep Liberty Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Jeep Liberty, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Liberty feels bouncy, leans 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 2003 Jeep Liberty, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub 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 Liberty 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jeep Liberty

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 Jeep Liberty suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Jeep Liberty’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jeep Liberty shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Jeep Liberty’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2003 Liberty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Jeep Liberty 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Jeep intended.
  • Does my Jeep Liberty 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 Liberty is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jeep service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jeep Liberty to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Jeep Liberty might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Liberty to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Liberty 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Jeep Liberty are bad? If your Liberty 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 Liberty might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
