Does Your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Santa Fe jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe’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 limit vibration and keep your Hyundai up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, 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 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Steering & Suspension

  • 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 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Hyundai intended.
  • Does my Hyundai Santa Fe 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 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 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Santa Fe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Santa Fe'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 do worn Hyundai Santa Fe shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Santa Fe feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Santa Fe travels over minor bumps.
