Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Kia's 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 Soul?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Kia intended.

Does my Kia Soul 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 Soul is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Kia Soul 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 Soul to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Soul's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Soul 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 Soul are bad?

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

When To Get 2024 Kia Soul Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2024 Kia Soul, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Soul jolts, leans 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 Soul 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Kia Soul suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Kia Soul Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Kia Soul suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Kia up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Soul’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Kia Soul shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Kia Soul suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.
