Does Your 2014 Scion xB Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2014 Scion xB, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your xB feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2014 Scion xB, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Scion xB suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Scion xB Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2014 Scion xB’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Scion xB shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your xB’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 xB Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Scion's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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? 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your xB 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 xB need replacing? 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.
