Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Land Rover's 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 Land Rover Defender 130 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Land Rover Defender 130 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Land Rover's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Land Rover Defender 130 bouncing excessively?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Defender 130 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 130's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Defender 130 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Land Rover Defender 130 need replacing?

Worn Defender 130 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Defender 130 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Defender 130 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
