Is It Time For 1996 Kia Sephia Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1996 Kia Sephia, 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 Sephia jolts, sways 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 1996 Kia Sephia 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Kia Sephia 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.

Kia Sephia Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1996 Kia Sephia 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 limit vibration and keep your Kia up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1996 Kia Sephia’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Kia Sephia shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Kia Sephia’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1996 Kia Sephia Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sephia's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Kia Sephia get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Kia intended.
  • When does Kia Sephia 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 Sephia is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Kia's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Kia Sephia bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Kia Sephia 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 Sephia tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sephia combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Kia Sephia need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sephia feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sephia travels over minor bumps.
