Does Your 2007 Kia Spectra Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2007 Kia Spectra, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Spectra bounces, 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 2007 Kia Spectra in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Kia Spectra suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Kia Spectra Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2007 Kia Spectra suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Spectra’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Kia Spectra shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Spectra’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2007 Kia Spectra Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Kia's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why should my Kia Spectra get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my Kia Spectra power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Spectra is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Kia service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Kia Spectra to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Kia Spectra 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 Spectra's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Kia Spectra are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Spectra feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Spectra travels over minor bumps.
