What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Kia's suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Kia Sorento?

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 come into contact with the road in the way Kia intended.

When should I have my Kia Sorento power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sorento is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why does my Kia Sorento bounce so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Kia Sorento 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.

What can cause the front end of my Sorento to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Sorento when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.

How do I know if I have worn Kia Sorento shocks?

Worn Sorento shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sorento might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sorento shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 2024 Kia Sorento Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2024 Kia Sorento, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sorento jolts, pulls 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 Sorento in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 Kia Sorento’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Kia Sorento

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Kia Sorento’s suspension. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 Kia Sorento’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Kia Sorento shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Kia Sorento’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.
