When To Get 2007 Toyota Solara Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2007 Toyota Solara, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Solara feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2007 Toyota Solara in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Solara 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 Solara Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2007 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2007 Toyota Solara shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, 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 2007 Toyota Solara suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2007 Solara Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Toyota Solara? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Toyota Solara power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Solara’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Toyota's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Toyota Solara to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Solara to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Solara's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Toyota Solara need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Solara feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Solara travels over minor bumps.
