Does Your 2002 Porsche 911 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2002 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. Maybe your 911 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Porsche 911 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 911 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 911 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 911 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2002 Porsche 911’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Porsche 911 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 911’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 911 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Porsche's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Porsche 911? 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 Porsche 911 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 911’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Porsche's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Porsche 911 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 911 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 911's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • What do worn Porsche 911 shocks feel like? 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.
