When To Get 2021 Tesla 3 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2021 Tesla 3, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 3 feels bouncy, pulls 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 2021 Tesla 3 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle 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 3 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Tesla 3 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2021 Tesla 3’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 Tesla 3’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Tesla 3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Tesla 3 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2021 3 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Tesla's 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Tesla 3? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Tesla 3 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 3’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Tesla's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Tesla 3 bounce 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.
  • Why does my 3 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 3 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Tesla 3 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 3 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 3 travels over minor bumps.
