Is It Time For 2012 Audi A6 Quattro Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2012 Audi A6 Quattro, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your A6 Quattro jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Audi A6 Quattro 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, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 A6 Quattro’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Audi A6 Quattro Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 Audi A6 Quattro suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2012 Audi A6 Quattro shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi A6 Quattro shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Audi A6 Quattro suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 A6 Quattro Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Audi's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Audi A6 Quattro get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • Does my Audi A6 Quattro power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your A6 Quattro’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Audi A6 Quattro bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your A6 Quattro to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my A6 Quattro's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your A6 Quattro 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Audi A6 Quattro shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your A6 Quattro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your A6 Quattro travels over minor bumps.
