When To Get 1990 Hyundai Sonata Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1990 Hyundai Sonata, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Sonata bounces, drifts 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 1990 Hyundai Sonata in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 your Hyundai Sonata’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 Sonata Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Hyundai Sonata suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sonata’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Sonata shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1990 Hyundai Sonata suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 Hyundai Sonata Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sonata's steering and 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Hyundai Sonata? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When should I have my Hyundai Sonata power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Hyundai's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Hyundai Sonata bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sonata to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sonata'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Hyundai Sonata shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sonata feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sonata travels over minor bumps.
