When To Get 2009 Porsche 911 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2009 Porsche 911, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 911 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Porsche 911, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle 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 2009 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Porsche 911’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Porsche 911 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Porsche 911’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 911 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Porsche 911 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 911 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Porsche's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Porsche 911 bounce so much? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 911's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Porsche 911 shocks? If your 911 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 911 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
