Is It Time For 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Santa Fe bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Santa Fe suspension system needs repair, 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe shock and strut replacement 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. It’s a smart move to get your Santa Fe’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Santa Fe's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Fe? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Santa Fe is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Hyundai's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Hyundai Santa Fe might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Santa Fe to dip forward when I apply 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 do I know if I have worn Hyundai Santa Fe shocks? 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.
