When To Get 2009 Audi A8 Quattro Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2009 Audi A8 Quattro, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your A8 Quattro jolts, drifts 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 2009 Audi A8 Quattro in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your A8 Quattro steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi A8 Quattro Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Audi A8 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 getting your 2009 Audi A8 Quattro’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Audi A8 Quattro shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your A8 Quattro’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Audi A8 Quattro Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Audi's 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Audi A8 Quattro get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When does Audi A8 Quattro power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your A8 Quattro is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Audi A8 Quattro to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your A8 Quattro to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my A8 Quattro to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your A8 Quattro'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Audi A8 Quattro need replacing? Worn A8 Quattro shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your A8 Quattro might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your A8 Quattro shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
