When To Get 1989 Audi 100 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1989 Audi 100, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 100 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Audi 100, 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, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your Audi 100 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.

Audi 100 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Audi 100 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Audi 100’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Audi 100 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Audi 100’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.

1989 100 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 100's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Audi 100? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • Does my Audi 100 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 100’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Audi 100 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 100 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 100 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 100 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi 100 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 100 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 100 travels over minor bumps.
