Does Your 2014 Scion tC Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2014 Scion tC, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your tC bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2014 Scion tC, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your tC 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 tC’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 tC

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Scion tC suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Scion up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2014 Scion tC’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Scion tC shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Scion tC suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2014 tC Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Scion's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Scion tC? 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 connect with the road how Scion intended.
  • When does Scion tC power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your tC’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Scion's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Scion tC to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your tC to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my tC to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your tC 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Scion tC need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your tC feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your tC travels over minor bumps.
