Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Avalon's steering and suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Toyota Avalon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Toyota intended.

When should I have my Toyota Avalon 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’ll follow Toyota service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Toyota Avalon 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 Avalon to bounce more than usual.

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

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Avalon 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 Toyota Avalon are bad?

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

Is It Time For 2000 Toyota Avalon Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2000 Toyota Avalon, 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 Avalon bounces, leans 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 2000 Toyota Avalon in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Toyota Avalon’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Toyota Avalon

Your 2000 Toyota Avalon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Toyota up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2000 Toyota Avalon’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Toyota Avalon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Toyota Avalon suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.
