Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Tesla's 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.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Tesla S?

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 S power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Tesla's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Tesla S bouncing excessively?

Excessive bouncing in your Tesla S might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.

Why does my S tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Tesla S are bad?

If your S 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 S might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2023 Tesla S Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2023 Tesla S, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your S feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2023 Tesla S in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2023 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. 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 2023 Tesla S shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Tesla S shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Tesla S suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
