Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my A3 Quattro's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires 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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi A3 Quattro?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Audi intended.

When should I have my Audi A3 Quattro power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your A3 Quattro is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Audi A3 Quattro bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your A3 Quattro 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 A3 Quattro front end dip forward when I brake?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your A3 Quattro's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi A3 Quattro are bad?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your A3 Quattro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your A3 Quattro travels over minor bumps.

When To Get 2024 Audi A3 Quattro Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2024 Audi A3 Quattro, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your A3 Quattro jolts, sways 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 2024 Audi A3 Quattro, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 A3 Quattro suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Audi A3 Quattro

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Audi A3 Quattro suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 Audi A3 Quattro’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Audi A3 Quattro shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Audi A3 Quattro suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
