Does Your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, 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 Santa Cruz bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Santa Cruz suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Hyundai Santa Cruz suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Hyundai Santa Cruz Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz’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 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Hyundai Santa Cruz shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2023 Santa Cruz Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Hyundai's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Santa Cruz? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Hyundai intended.
  • Does my Hyundai Santa Cruz power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Santa Cruz is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Hyundai service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Hyundai Santa Cruz bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Santa Cruz to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Santa Cruz to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Santa Cruz'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Hyundai Santa Cruz need replacing? If your Santa Cruz shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Santa Cruz might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
