Is It Time For 1999 Kia Sephia Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 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, 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 1999 Kia Sephia in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Kia Sephia’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.

Kia Sephia Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Kia Sephia’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Kia Sephia shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Kia Sephia shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Kia Sephia’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1999 Kia Sephia Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Kia's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Kia Sephia? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Kia service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Kia Sephia bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sephia goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Sephia's nose dive down 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Kia Sephia shocks? 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.
