Does Your 2004 Audi A4 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Audi A4, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your A4 bounces, sways 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 2004 Audi A4 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 A4’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 A4 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2004 Audi A4’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your A4’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Audi A4 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Audi A4 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2004 Audi A4 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my A4's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi A4? 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 connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi A4 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your A4 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Audi A4 bouncing excessively? 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 A4 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your A4 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Audi A4 shocks feel like? Worn A4 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your A4 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your A4 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
