Does Your 2004 Scion xA Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2004 Scion xA, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your xA jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2004 Scion xA, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your xA 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 xA Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2004 Scion xA 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 2004 Scion xA’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Scion xA shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2004 Scion xA’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 xA Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my xA's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 xA? 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.
  • Does my Scion xA 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Scion's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Scion xA bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your xA to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my xA to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your xA 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 xA need replacing? If your xA 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 xA might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
