Is It Time For 1993 Porsche 911 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Porsche 911, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 911 feels bouncy, 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 1993 Porsche 911, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Porsche 911 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Porsche 911 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1993 Porsche 911 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Porsche up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 911’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Porsche 911 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1993 Porsche 911’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 911 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 911's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Porsche 911? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • Does my Porsche 911 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 911 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Porsche service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Porsche 911 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 911 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 911 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 911 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 Porsche 911 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 911 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 911 travels over minor bumps.
