Does Your 2022 Kia Carnival Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2022 Kia Carnival, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Carnival jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2022 Kia Carnival, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Carnival steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Kia Carnival Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2022 Kia Carnival’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Carnival’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Kia Carnival shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2022 Kia Carnival’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2022 Kia Carnival Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Kia's 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Kia Carnival? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Kia intended.
  • When should I have my Kia Carnival power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Kia service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Kia Carnival to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Carnival 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 Carnival tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Carnival 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 Kia Carnival are bad? Worn Carnival shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Carnival might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Carnival shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
