When To Get 1997 Toyota Supra Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1997 Toyota Supra, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Supra jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Toyota Supra in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, 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 Supra steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Supra Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1997 Toyota Supra’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Toyota Supra’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Toyota Supra shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Toyota Supra suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1997 Toyota Supra Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Toyota Supra? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • Does my Toyota Supra power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Toyota service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Toyota Supra to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Supra front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Supra's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Toyota Supra are bad? Worn Supra shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Supra might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Supra shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
