When To Get 2010 Kia Soul Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2010 Kia Soul, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Soul bounces, sways 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 2010 Kia Soul in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Soul suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Kia Soul Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Kia Soul’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Soul’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Kia Soul shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Soul’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.

2010 Soul Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Soul's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 Soul 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Kia intended.
  • When does Kia Soul power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Soul’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Kia's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Kia Soul bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Kia Soul 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 Soul's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Soul'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 Kia Soul are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Soul feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Soul travels over minor bumps.
