Does Your 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Land Rover Defender 110, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Defender 110 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Land Rover Defender 110 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Land Rover Defender 110

Your 2021 Land Rover Defender 110’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Land Rover up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Land Rover Defender 110 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Land Rover Defender 110’s 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.

Questions About 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Land Rover's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Land Rover Defender 110 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Land Rover Defender 110 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 Defender 110 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Land Rover's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Land Rover Defender 110 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Land Rover Defender 110 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 Defender 110 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What do worn Land Rover Defender 110 shocks feel like? Worn Defender 110 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Defender 110 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Defender 110 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
