When To Get 2002 Land Rover Freelander Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2002 Land Rover Freelander, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Freelander jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Land Rover Freelander in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 parts of your Land Rover Freelander suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Land Rover Freelander

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Land Rover Freelander’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2002 Land Rover Freelander shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Land Rover Freelander shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Land Rover Freelander suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 Freelander Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Land Rover's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Land Rover Freelander get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Land Rover intended.
  • When should I have my Land Rover Freelander power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Freelander is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Land Rover service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Land Rover Freelander bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Freelander tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Freelander 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Land Rover Freelander shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Freelander feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Freelander travels over minor bumps.
