When To Get 2008 Toyota Solara Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2008 Toyota Solara, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Solara feels bouncy, pulls 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 2008 Toyota Solara in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 parts of your Toyota Solara suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Solara Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 Toyota Solara’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Solara’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Toyota Solara shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Toyota Solara suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2008 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Toyota Solara? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Toyota intended.
  • When should I have my Toyota Solara power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Solara’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Toyota's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Toyota Solara bouncing so much? 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 do worn Toyota Solara shocks feel like? 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.
