Does Your 2000 Hyundai Elantra Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2000 Hyundai Elantra, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Elantra bounces, sways 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 2000 Hyundai Elantra, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Hyundai Elantra’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 Elantra Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Hyundai Elantra suspension system. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2000 Hyundai Elantra’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Elantra shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Hyundai Elantra’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.

2000 Elantra Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Hyundai's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Hyundai Elantra get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Hyundai Elantra power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Elantra’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Hyundai service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Hyundai Elantra bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Elantra to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Elantra's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Elantra 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Hyundai Elantra are bad? Worn Elantra shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
