Does Your 2016 Hyundai Sonata Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Hyundai Sonata, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit 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 trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Hyundai Sonata in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sonata suspension system needs repair, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Hyundai Sonata Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2016 Hyundai Sonata’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Hyundai Sonata’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Hyundai Sonata shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Hyundai Sonata’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Sonata Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Hyundai's 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Hyundai Sonata? 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 connect with the road how Hyundai intended.
  • When should I have my Hyundai Sonata power steering fluid checked? 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 top it off per Hyundai's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Hyundai Sonata are bad? 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.
