Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Tercel?

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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Toyota intended.

When should I have my Toyota Tercel power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Tercel is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Toyota service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

What can cause my Toyota Tercel to have a bouncy ride?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Tercel 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 Tercel tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Tercel 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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Toyota Tercel are bad?

Worn Tercel shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Tercel might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Tercel shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 1995 Toyota Tercel Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1995 Toyota Tercel, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Tercel jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1995 Toyota Tercel in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end 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 problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Toyota Tercel suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Tercel Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1995 Toyota Tercel’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1995 Toyota Tercel shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Toyota Tercel shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1995 Toyota Tercel suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
