When To Get 1997 Land Rover Range Rover Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1997 Land Rover Range Rover, 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 Range Rover bounces, pulls 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 1997 Land Rover Range Rover 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, shocks, coil 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 your Range Rover suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Land Rover Range Rover’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Land Rover Range Rover Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1997 Land Rover Range Rover’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1997 Land Rover Range Rover shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Land Rover Range Rover shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Land Rover Range Rover’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1997 Range Rover 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. 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 Range Rover? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Land Rover intended.
  • When does Land Rover Range Rover 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Land Rover's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Land Rover Range Rover to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Range Rover 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 Range Rover front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What do worn Land Rover Range Rover shocks feel like? If your Range Rover 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 Range Rover might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
