Does Your 2007 Audi A3 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2007 Audi A3, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your A3 bounces, 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 2007 Audi A3, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Audi A3’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Audi A3 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Audi A3’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2007 Audi A3’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi A3 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2007 Audi A3’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2007 Audi A3 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my A3's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Audi A3? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • When does Audi A3 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your A3’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Audi A3 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your A3 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my A3 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your A3 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Audi A3 need replacing? Worn A3 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your A3 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your A3 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
