Does Your 1990 Audi 200 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1990 Audi 200, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 200 bounces, 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 1990 Audi 200 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub 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 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 Audi 200 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 200 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Audi 200’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Audi 200’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Audi 200 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 200’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 Audi 200 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Audi'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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Audi 200? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Audi 200 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 200’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Audi 200 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 200 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 200 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 200 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.
  • What do worn Audi 200 shocks feel like? Worn 200 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 200 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 200 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
