Is It Time For 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 4000 Quattro jolts, pulls 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 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 4000 Quattro suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 4000 Quattro steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Audi 4000 Quattro

Your 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 4000 Quattro’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi 4000 Quattro shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Audi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi 4000 Quattro? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my Audi 4000 Quattro power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 4000 Quattro’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Audi 4000 Quattro to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Audi 4000 Quattro might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 4000 Quattro to dip forward when I apply 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Audi 4000 Quattro need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 4000 Quattro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 4000 Quattro travels over minor bumps.
