Does Your 2017 Kia Niro Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2017 Kia Niro, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Niro bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Kia Niro 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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle 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 Niro steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Kia Niro Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2017 Kia Niro’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Kia up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Niro’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Kia Niro shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Kia Niro’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2017 Niro Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Niro'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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Kia Niro? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Kia Niro power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Niro’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Kia's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Kia Niro bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Niro to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Niro tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Niro's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Kia Niro shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Niro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Niro travels over minor bumps.
