Is It Time For 2016 Scion iM Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 Scion iM, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your iM jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Scion iM in for steering and suspension services. 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, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your iM suspension system needs repair, 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 your Scion iM’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Scion iM

Your 2016 Scion iM’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your iM’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Scion iM shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Scion iM suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 iM Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Scion's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Scion iM? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Scion intended.
  • When should I have my Scion iM power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your iM is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Scion's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Scion iM bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your iM to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my iM's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your iM 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.
  • What do worn Scion iM shocks feel like? If your iM 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 iM might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
