Does Your 1983 Audi 4000 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1983 Audi 4000, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 4000 bounces, 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 1983 Audi 4000, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 4000 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 4000 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi 4000 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Audi 4000’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 4000’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Audi 4000 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 4000’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 4000 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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.
  • Why should my Audi 4000 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Audi intended.
  • Does my Audi 4000 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 4000’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Audi 4000 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Audi 4000 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.
  • Why does my 4000 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 4000 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 4000 shocks feel like? Worn 4000 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 4000 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 4000 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
