When To Get 1999 Toyota Solara Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1999 Toyota Solara, 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 Solara bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Toyota Solara, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Solara 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 Toyota Solara

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Toyota Solara suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Solara’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Toyota Solara shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Toyota Solara suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1999 Solara Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Toyota Solara 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. 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 Toyota intended.
  • When should I have my Toyota Solara power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Solara’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Toyota's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Toyota Solara bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Solara 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 Solara tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Solara 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Toyota Solara need replacing? If your Solara 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 Solara might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
