Does Your 2012 Hyundai Accent Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2012 Hyundai Accent, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Accent jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2012 Hyundai Accent, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Hyundai Accent’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.

Hyundai Accent Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2012 Hyundai Accent’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Hyundai Accent’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Hyundai Accent shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Accent’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.

2012 Accent Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Hyundai's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Hyundai Accent? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Hyundai intended.
  • Does my Hyundai Accent power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Accent’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Hyundai's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Hyundai Accent bouncing excessively? 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 Accent's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Accent's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Hyundai Accent shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Accent feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Accent travels over minor bumps.
