When To Get 1990 Audi 80 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1990 Audi 80, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 80 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Audi 80 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 80 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 80 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 80 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Audi 80’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 80’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Audi 80 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Audi 80’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1990 80 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Audi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Audi 80 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi 80 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 80’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Audi 80 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Audi 80 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 80 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi 80 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 80 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 80 travels over minor bumps.
