Is It Time For 2019 Smart EQ fortwo Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2019 Smart EQ fortwo, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your EQ fortwo jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2019 Smart EQ fortwo in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your EQ fortwo suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Smart EQ fortwo’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Smart EQ fortwo

Your 2019 Smart EQ fortwo’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 EQ fortwo’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 can all point to issues with your Smart EQ fortwo shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your EQ fortwo’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2019 Smart EQ fortwo Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my EQ fortwo's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 Smart EQ fortwo? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Smart EQ fortwo 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Smart service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Smart EQ fortwo bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your EQ fortwo goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my EQ fortwo's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Smart EQ fortwo shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your EQ fortwo feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your EQ fortwo travels over minor bumps.
