Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Tesla's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.

Why should my Tesla Y get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Tesla intended.

When should I have my Tesla Y power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Y is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Tesla's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Tesla Y bouncing excessively?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Y goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

Why does my Y's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Y 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 Y shocks feel like?

Worn Y shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Y might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Y shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2021 Tesla Y Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 Tesla Y, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Y jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Tesla Y in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Y suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Tesla Y’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Tesla Y Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2021 Tesla Y’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 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 Y’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Tesla Y shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Y’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
