Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Carnival'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Kia Carnival?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Kia intended.

Does my Kia Carnival 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Kia Carnival bounce so much?

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's nose dive down 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 shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Carnival feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Carnival travels over minor bumps.

Is It Time For 2024 Kia Carnival Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2024 Kia Carnival, 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 Carnival feels bouncy, 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 2024 Kia Carnival in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Carnival suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Kia Carnival’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Kia Carnival Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Kia Carnival’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2024 Kia Carnival’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Kia Carnival shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Kia Carnival suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
