Does Your 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Santa Fe bounces, leans 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 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Hyundai Santa Fe suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Hyundai Santa Fe

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe suspension system. 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 things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Santa Fe shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 Santa Fe Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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.
  • Why should my Hyundai Santa Fe get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way 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’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 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Hyundai Santa Fe need replacing? 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.
