Does Your 2004 Scion xB Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2004 Scion xB, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your xB bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2004 Scion xB in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your xB suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your xB 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 xB Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2004 Scion xB suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your xB’s shocks and struts 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 can all point to issues with your Scion xB shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2004 Scion xB’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 xB Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my xB'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Scion xB get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Scion intended.
  • When does Scion xB power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 can fill it per Scion's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Scion xB 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 xB to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my xB tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Scion xB shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your xB feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your xB travels over minor bumps.
