When To Get 2018 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2018 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your A3 Sportback e-tron bounces, leans 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 2018 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron in for suspension and steering service. 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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your A3 Sportback e-tron 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 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 Sportback e-tron

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your A3 Sportback e-tron’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi A3 Sportback e-tron shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 A3 Sportback e-tron Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron? 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 the tires connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your A3 Sportback e-tron is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my A3 Sportback e-tron's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your A3 Sportback e-tron'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.
  • What do worn Audi A3 Sportback e-tron shocks feel like? Worn A3 Sportback e-tron shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
