Is It Time For 1999 Porsche Boxster Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Porsche Boxster, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Boxster bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Porsche Boxster in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Porsche Boxster suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Porsche Boxster Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Porsche Boxster suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1999 Porsche Boxster’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Porsche Boxster shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Porsche Boxster suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1999 Boxster Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Porsche 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 connect with the road how Porsche intended.
  • When does Porsche Boxster 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 Boxster’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Porsche's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Porsche Boxster bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Boxster to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Porsche Boxster shocks? If your Boxster 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 Boxster might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
