Does Your 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 718 Boxster jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 718 Boxster 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 718 Boxster steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Porsche 718 Boxster Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Porsche 718 Boxster shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 718 Boxster Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 718 Boxster's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Porsche 718 Boxster? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Porsche intended.
  • Does my Porsche 718 Boxster power steering fluid need to be checked? 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’ll follow Porsche service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Porsche 718 Boxster to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 718 Boxster 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 718 Boxster's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 718 Boxster 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Porsche 718 Boxster are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 718 Boxster feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 718 Boxster travels over minor bumps.
