Is It Time For 1986 Audi Coupe Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1986 Audi Coupe, 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 Coupe bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1986 Audi Coupe in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Coupe suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Audi Coupe’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi Coupe Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Audi Coupe suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1986 Audi Coupe’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Audi Coupe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Coupe’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1986 Audi Coupe Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Coupe's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Why should my Audi Coupe 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. 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.
  • Does my Audi Coupe 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Audi Coupe bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Coupe to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Coupe tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Coupe 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.
  • What do worn Audi Coupe shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Coupe feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Coupe travels over minor bumps.
