Does Your 1999 Jeep Wrangler Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1999 Jeep Wrangler, 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 Wrangler jolts, 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 1999 Jeep Wrangler in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Wrangler 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 Wrangler Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Jeep Wrangler’s suspension. 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 1999 Jeep Wrangler shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Jeep Wrangler shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Jeep Wrangler suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Wrangler Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Wrangler's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jeep Wrangler? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Jeep intended.
  • When does Jeep Wrangler 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 Wrangler’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Jeep's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Jeep Wrangler to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Wrangler 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 Wrangler's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Wrangler 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jeep Wrangler need replacing? If your Wrangler 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 Wrangler might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
