When To Get 2014 Scion FR-S Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2014 Scion FR-S, 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 FR-S feels bouncy, leans 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 2014 Scion FR-S, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your FR-S 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 Scion FR-S’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Scion FR-S Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Scion FR-S suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 FR-S’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Scion FR-S shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Scion FR-S suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 FR-S Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Scion's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Scion FR-S 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Scion FR-S power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your FR-S is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Scion's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Scion FR-S to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my FR-S tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your FR-S 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 Scion FR-S shocks? Worn FR-S shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your FR-S might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your FR-S shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
