When To Get 2022 Kia Forte Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2022 Kia Forte, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Forte bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2022 Kia Forte in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Forte suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Kia Forte’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 Forte Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2022 Kia Forte suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2022 Kia Forte’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Kia Forte shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Forte’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.

2022 Forte Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Forte's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Kia Forte? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Kia Forte power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Forte is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Kia's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Kia Forte bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Kia Forte might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Forte tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Kia Forte need replacing? Worn Forte shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Forte might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Forte shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
