Does Your 2010 Scion xD Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Scion xD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your xD bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Scion xD, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Scion xD’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Scion xD Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2010 Scion xD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your xD’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Scion xD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Scion xD suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2010 Scion xD Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Scion's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Scion xD 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Scion intended.
  • When should I have my Scion xD power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your xD’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Scion's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Scion xD bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my xD to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your xD'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Scion xD need replacing? Worn xD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your xD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your xD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
