When To Get 2013 Porsche Boxster Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2013 Porsche Boxster, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Boxster feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2013 Porsche Boxster, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Porsche Boxster’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Porsche Boxster Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2013 Porsche Boxster’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Boxster’s shocks and struts 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 Boxster shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 Porsche Boxster’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 Boxster Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 Boxster? 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 the tires connect with the road how Porsche intended.
  • When should I have my Porsche Boxster power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. 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 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Boxster 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 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.
