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. 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 Telluride 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. 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 Telluride 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 can fill it per Kia's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Kia Telluride bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Telluride 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 Telluride's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Telluride 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 Telluride need replacing?

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

When To Get 2020 Kia Telluride Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2020 Kia Telluride, 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 Telluride bounces, drifts 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 2020 Kia Telluride in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Telluride suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Kia Telluride’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 Telluride Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Kia Telluride’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 limit vibration and keep your Kia up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2020 Kia Telluride shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Kia Telluride shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Kia Telluride’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.
