Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my A5 Sportback's steering and 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi A5 Sportback?

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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Audi A5 Sportback power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your A5 Sportback is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

What can cause my Audi A5 Sportback to have a bouncy ride?

Excessive bouncing in your Audi A5 Sportback 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.

Why does my A5 Sportback front end dip forward when I brake?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your A5 Sportback 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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi A5 Sportback are bad?

Worn A5 Sportback shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your A5 Sportback might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your A5 Sportback shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Audi A5 Sportback Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Audi A5 Sportback suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2023 Audi A5 Sportback’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Audi A5 Sportback shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your A5 Sportback’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
