When To Get 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1993 Land Rover Defender 110, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Defender 110 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1993 Land Rover Defender 110, bring it 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Land Rover Defender 110’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Land Rover Defender 110 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Land Rover Defender 110’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 Land Rover up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Land Rover Defender 110 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 suspension 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.

1993 Defender 110 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Land Rover's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Land Rover Defender 110? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Land Rover Defender 110 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Defender 110 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Land Rover service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Land Rover Defender 110 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Defender 110 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 Defender 110's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Defender 110 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Land Rover Defender 110 are bad? If your Defender 110 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Defender 110 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
