Does Your 2018 Porsche Panamera Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Porsche Panamera, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Panamera 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 2018 Porsche Panamera in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Panamera suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Porsche Panamera’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Porsche Panamera Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Porsche Panamera’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2018 Porsche Panamera shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Porsche Panamera shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Porsche Panamera’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 Panamera Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Porsche's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 should my Porsche Panamera get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Porsche intended.
  • Does my Porsche Panamera power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Panamera’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Porsche's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Porsche Panamera to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Porsche Panamera 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 Panamera front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Panamera 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 do I know if I have worn Porsche Panamera shocks? If your Panamera 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 Panamera might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
