Does Your 2011 Tesla Roadster Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2011 Tesla Roadster, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Roadster bounces, leans 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 2011 Tesla Roadster in for steering and suspension services. 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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Roadster suspension system needs repair, 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 Tesla Roadster’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.

Tesla Roadster Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2011 Tesla Roadster’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 2011 Tesla Roadster shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Tesla Roadster shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Tesla Roadster’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2011 Roadster Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Tesla's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Tesla Roadster? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Tesla's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Tesla Roadster 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Roadster to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Roadster'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Tesla Roadster are bad? 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.
