Does Your 2010 Tesla Roadster Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Tesla Roadster, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Roadster bounces, pulls 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 2010 Tesla Roadster in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Roadster 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 Roadster Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2010 Tesla Roadster’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. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Roadster’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Tesla Roadster shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Tesla Roadster’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2010 Roadster Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Roadster's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Tesla Roadster? 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 Tesla intended.
  • When should I have my Tesla Roadster power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Roadster’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Tesla's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Tesla Roadster to have a bouncy ride? 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 do worn Tesla Roadster shocks feel like? If your Roadster 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 Roadster might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
