Have no fear! Your shocks are now clear... Of problems
So if you recently bought any Fiat 500 of any type in Canada... But more importantly in the colder parts of Canada or the US for that matter, then you might have noticed that your suspension is making some funny noises now that it's cold out. Possibly something like a "plock plock plock..." In any case there's nothing wrong with your Mexican made Fiat, just the shock mounts... Or some type of bushing or something. Long story short because of the cold there is a rubber that contracts and moves around when hitting the smallest bump at even 25km/h. Fiat has finally engineered a fix that removes this sound from the front shocks by replacing this piece with a better piece. If your car is making this sound then bring her on in for them to fix it (covered by warrantee) I have yet any reports wether or not it impacts the performance and handling of the car, but it does feel a little smoother now. Go get yours fixed now if your here the plucking plock of your sadly noisy suspension of your brand new North American Fiat. Don't get me wrong, still love this sucker!
