Does Your 2018 Kia Stinger Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2018 Kia Stinger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Stinger jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Kia Stinger in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Stinger steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Kia Stinger Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2018 Kia Stinger’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Stinger’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Kia Stinger shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Kia Stinger suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2018 Stinger Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Kia Stinger? 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 connect with the road how Kia intended.
  • When does Kia Stinger power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Stinger’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Kia Stinger bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Stinger tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Stinger 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 Stinger shocks? If your Stinger shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Stinger might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
