Is It Time For 2013 Scion tC Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2013 Scion tC, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your tC 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 2013 Scion tC, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your tC suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Scion tC 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.

Scion tC Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2013 Scion tC’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Scion tC’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Scion tC shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 Scion tC’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.

2013 tC 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 help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Scion tC 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Scion intended.
  • Does my Scion tC 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 tC is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Scion's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Scion tC bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your tC 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.
  • Why does my tC's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your tC 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Scion tC need replacing? Worn tC shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your tC might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your tC shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
