Does Your 2022 Kia Sportage Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2022 Kia Sportage, 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 Sportage jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2022 Kia Sportage in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil 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 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 Sportage 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Kia Sportage

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2022 Kia Sportage suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sportage’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 an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Kia Sportage shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2022 Kia Sportage’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2022 Sportage Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sportage's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Sportage 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. 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.
  • Does my Kia Sportage power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sportage’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Kia service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Kia Sportage to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Kia Sportage 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 Sportage to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sportage 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Kia Sportage need replacing? Worn Sportage shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sportage might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sportage shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
