When To Get 2009 Hyundai Elantra Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2009 Hyundai Elantra, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Elantra bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2009 Hyundai Elantra 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Elantra steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Hyundai Elantra

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Hyundai Elantra suspension system. 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 2009 Hyundai Elantra’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Elantra shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Elantra’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 Elantra Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Hyundai's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Hyundai Elantra? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • Does my Hyundai Elantra power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Elantra’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Hyundai's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Hyundai Elantra bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Hyundai Elantra might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • 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 do I know if I have worn Hyundai Elantra shocks? 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.
