Does Your 2003 Porsche Boxster Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Porsche Boxster, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Boxster feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 Porsche Boxster, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Porsche Boxster 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 Boxster Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2003 Porsche Boxster’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Porsche up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Porsche Boxster shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Porsche Boxster shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Porsche Boxster’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 Boxster Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Porsche's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Porsche Boxster power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Boxster is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Porsche's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Porsche Boxster 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 Boxster to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Boxster tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Boxster 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Porsche Boxster are bad? Worn Boxster shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
