Does Your 2004 Toyota Tundra Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Toyota Tundra, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Tundra feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2004 Toyota Tundra, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Tundra suspension system needs repair, 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 your Toyota Tundra’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Tundra Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Toyota Tundra’s suspension. 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 Tundra’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Toyota Tundra shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Tundra’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 Tundra Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Toyota Tundra? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Toyota intended.
  • When should I have my Toyota Tundra power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Tundra’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Toyota's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Toyota Tundra 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 Tundra tilt forward 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 Tundra shocks feel like? Worn Tundra shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Tundra might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Tundra shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
