Is It Time For 2018 Tesla X Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Tesla X, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your X jolts, leans 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 2018 Tesla X 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 your X steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Tesla X

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Tesla X suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Tesla up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your X’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Tesla X shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Tesla X’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 X Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Tesla's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Tesla X get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Tesla intended.
  • When does Tesla X power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your X’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Tesla service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Tesla X bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Tesla X 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 X's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your X'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 X are bad? Worn X shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your X might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your X shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
