When To Get 2003 Land Rover Freelander Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2003 Land Rover Freelander, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Freelander bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Land Rover Freelander in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Freelander steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 Land Rover Freelander suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Land Rover Freelander shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Land Rover Freelander shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Freelander’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 Freelander Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Land Rover's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 Freelander 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 Freelander 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 Freelander’s power steering fluid is low, 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? Excessive bouncing in your Land Rover Freelander 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Freelander to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Land Rover Freelander are bad? 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.
