Does Your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2013 Jeep Wrangler, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Wrangler bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2013 Jeep Wrangler in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Jeep Wrangler suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jeep Wrangler Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Jeep Wrangler’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 2013 Jeep Wrangler’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jeep Wrangler shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Wrangler’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 Wrangler Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Wrangler's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Wrangler 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 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Jeep's recommendations 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Wrangler 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 Wrangler shocks? Worn Wrangler shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Wrangler might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Wrangler shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
