Is It Time For 2009 Scion xB Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2009 Scion xB, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your xB bounces, 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 2009 Scion xB 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Scion xB Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Scion xB’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Scion up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Scion xB’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Scion xB shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Scion xB suspension 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.

2009 xB Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Scion xB? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Scion intended.
  • Does my Scion xB power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your xB is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Scion's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Scion xB bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Scion xB might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my xB tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your xB'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Scion xB are bad? Worn xB shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your xB might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your xB shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
