Is It Time For 2011 Scion xB Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2011 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, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2011 Scion xB in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your xB 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 xB’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Scion xB Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2011 Scion xB’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Scion xB shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Scion xB shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 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.

2011 xB Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my xB's steering and 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 xB? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 xB’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Scion's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Scion xB bouncing excessively? 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's nose dive down 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 do I know if I have worn Scion xB shocks? If your xB 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 xB might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
