Does Your 2008 Audi A6 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Audi A6, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your A6 feels bouncy, drifts 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 2008 Audi A6 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Audi A6 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Audi A6 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 Audi A6’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Audi A6’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi A6 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your A6’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 A6 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my A6'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 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 A6? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • Does my Audi A6 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your A6’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Audi A6 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your A6 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my A6's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your A6'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Audi A6 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your A6 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your A6 travels over minor bumps.
