When To Get 2014 Kia Forte Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2014 Kia Forte, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Forte jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 Kia Forte 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, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Forte 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.

Kia Forte Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Kia Forte suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2014 Kia Forte’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Kia Forte shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 Kia Forte’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2014 Kia Forte Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Forte's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Kia Forte 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Kia intended.
  • When does Kia Forte 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 Forte’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Kia Forte bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Forte 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 Forte front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Forte 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 do worn Kia Forte shocks feel like? Worn Forte 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.
