Does Your 2015 Jeep Patriot Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2015 Jeep Patriot, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Patriot bounces, drifts 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 2015 Jeep Patriot, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Jeep Patriot 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 Patriot Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 Jeep Patriot’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2015 Jeep Patriot shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Jeep Patriot shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Jeep Patriot’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.

2015 Patriot Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Patriot's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Patriot 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. 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 should I have my Jeep Patriot power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Patriot is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Jeep's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Jeep Patriot 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 Patriot's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Patriot 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jeep Patriot need replacing? Worn Patriot 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.
