When To Get 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Santa Fe feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Hyundai Santa Fe’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Hyundai Santa Fe Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Hyundai Santa Fe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Santa Fe’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 Santa Fe 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Hyundai Santa Fe get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Hyundai Santa Fe 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 Fe’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Hyundai's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Santa Fe goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Santa Fe's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe are bad? Worn Santa Fe 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.
