Is It Time For 2009 Tesla Roadster Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2009 Tesla Roadster, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Roadster jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Tesla Roadster in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 parts of your Tesla Roadster suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Tesla Roadster Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2009 Tesla Roadster’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Tesla Roadster shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Tesla Roadster shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Roadster’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 Roadster Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Tesla's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Tesla Roadster get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires connect with the road how Tesla intended.
  • When should I have my Tesla Roadster power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Roadster’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Tesla's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Tesla Roadster bouncing excessively? 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 Roadster tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Roadster 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Tesla Roadster need replacing? Worn Roadster shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Roadster might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Roadster shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
