Is It Time For 1987 Audi Coupe Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1987 Audi Coupe, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Coupe feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Audi Coupe in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Audi Coupe’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Audi Coupe 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 signs of worn Audi Coupe shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Audi Coupe’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Coupe Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Coupe's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Audi Coupe? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Coupe 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 Coupe is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Audi Coupe 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 Coupe to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Coupe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Coupe'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 Coupe shocks? Worn Coupe shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Coupe might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Coupe shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
