Does Your 2014 Tesla S Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2014 Tesla S, 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 S jolts, drifts 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 2014 Tesla S 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, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle 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 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Tesla S Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Tesla S’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Tesla S shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Tesla S shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 S 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 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Tesla S? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Tesla S power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your S is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Tesla service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Tesla S bounce so much? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S'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.
  • What do worn Tesla S shocks feel like? Worn S shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
