2008 Nitro hits bumps way to hard
Hello My 2008 nitro recently started going over bumps way to hard as it goes over bumps you feel them hard especially in the back plus when you go over any bumps at over 30 if your steering is turned in any direction at all it will want to slide and sometimes does start to slide it has new tires put in 6 months ago and this started 3 weeks ago also 7 to 8 months ago squeeking noises started showing up when going over bumps i took while it was off and in park and pushed up and down both front and back and heard the noises then too didnt do anything else about it just turn the systm up so i dont hear the noises.
Any help will be greatly appriciated

Time to have a thorough inspection of the suspension components performed. If you are uncomfortable doing this, I suggest you take it to the dealer or a qualified automotive repair facility.

mystic,
As jkeaton mentioned, I would definitely recommend having this diagnosed at an FCA dealership. Be sure to keep us posted on how you decide to proceed with this!
