Does Your 2006 Hyundai Elantra Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Hyundai Elantra, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Elantra bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Hyundai Elantra in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Elantra steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Hyundai Elantra Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2006 Hyundai Elantra’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 Elantra’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Elantra shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Hyundai Elantra suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 Elantra Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Elantra's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 can fill it per Hyundai's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Hyundai Elantra bouncing excessively? 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 momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Elantra'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Hyundai Elantra are bad? Worn Elantra shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Elantra might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Elantra shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
