What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Hyundai's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Hyundai Santa Fe?

When does Hyundai Santa Fe power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

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 your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe bouncing excessively?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Santa Fe to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Santa Fe tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Santa Fe combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

How do I know if I have worn Hyundai Santa Fe shocks?

If your Santa Fe 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 Fe might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Santa Fe jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Santa Fe’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Santa Fe shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
