What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Kia'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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Why should my Kia Seltos 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my Kia Seltos power steering fluid need to be 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 can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Kia Seltos bounce so much?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Seltos to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Seltos's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Seltos 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 Kia Seltos shocks?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Seltos feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Seltos travels over minor bumps.

When To Get 2024 Kia Seltos Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2024 Kia Seltos, 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 Seltos jolts, 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 2024 Kia Seltos in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Seltos steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Kia Seltos Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Kia Seltos’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Kia up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Seltos’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Kia Seltos shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Seltos’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.
