When To Get 1992 Hyundai Sonata Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1992 Hyundai Sonata, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Sonata jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1992 Hyundai Sonata in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Hyundai Sonata’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 Hyundai Sonata’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Hyundai Sonata shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Hyundai Sonata’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Sonata Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Hyundai's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Hyundai Sonata? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Hyundai intended.
  • When does Hyundai Sonata power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sonata’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Hyundai service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Hyundai Sonata bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Hyundai Sonata 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.
  • Why does my Sonata's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Hyundai Sonata shocks feel like? Worn Sonata shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sonata might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sonata shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
