Is It Time For 2001 Toyota Sequoia Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2001 Toyota Sequoia, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sequoia bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Toyota Sequoia in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sequoia steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Sequoia Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2001 Toyota Sequoia’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 Toyota up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2001 Toyota Sequoia 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 can all point to issues with your Toyota Sequoia shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Toyota Sequoia suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2001 Toyota Sequoia Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Toyota Sequoia? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Toyota intended.
  • When should I have my Toyota Sequoia power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sequoia’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Toyota service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Toyota Sequoia bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sequoia 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 Sequoia's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sequoia when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Toyota Sequoia need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sequoia feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sequoia travels over minor bumps.
