Does Your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Q5 PHEV feels bouncy, 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 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Q5 PHEV suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Audi Q5 PHEV suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi Q5 PHEV Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV’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. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Q5 PHEV’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Audi Q5 PHEV shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Q5 PHEV’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.

2021 Q5 PHEV Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Q5 PHEV's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Q5 PHEV? 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 connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • Does my Audi Q5 PHEV 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 Q5 PHEV is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Audi Q5 PHEV bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Q5 PHEV 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 Q5 PHEV tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Q5 PHEV 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Audi Q5 PHEV need replacing? Worn Q5 PHEV shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Q5 PHEV might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Q5 PHEV shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
