Does Your 2004 Porsche 911 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Porsche 911, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 911 bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2004 Porsche 911 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 911 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Porsche 911 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Porsche 911’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2004 Porsche 911 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Porsche 911 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Porsche 911 suspension 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.

2004 911 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 911's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Porsche 911? 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.
  • When does Porsche 911 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 911’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Porsche's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Porsche 911 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Porsche 911 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.
  • Why does my 911's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 911 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Porsche 911 shocks? Worn 911 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 911 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 911 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
