Is It Time For 2013 Tesla S Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2013 Tesla S, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your S jolts, drifts 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 2013 Tesla S, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Tesla S suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Tesla S Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2013 Tesla S’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 S’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Tesla S shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 Tesla S’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2013 Tesla S Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Tesla S? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Tesla intended.
  • Does my Tesla S power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Tesla service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Tesla S to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your S to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my S front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Tesla S shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S travels over minor bumps.
