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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Hyundai Santa Fe?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Hyundai intended.

When should I have my Hyundai Santa Fe power steering fluid checked?

Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Hyundai's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe bouncing so much?

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 Santa Fe's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Hyundai Santa Fe are bad?

Worn Santa Fe shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Santa Fe might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Santa Fe shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Santa Fe jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your Santa Fe 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.

Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Hyundai up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Hyundai Santa Fe shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
