Is It Time For 2016 Scion tC Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 Scion tC, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your tC feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Scion tC in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, 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 tC steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Scion tC Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Scion tC suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2016 Scion tC’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Scion tC shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your tC’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Scion tC Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Scion's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Scion tC? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 should I have my Scion tC power steering fluid 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’ll top it off per Scion's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Scion tC bouncing excessively? 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 momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your tC's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • 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.
