Does Your 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Q5 PHEV 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 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection 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 the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Q5 PHEV’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Audi Q5 PHEV shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2023 Audi 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.

Questions About 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Audi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Audi Q5 PHEV 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.
  • When does Audi Q5 PHEV power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Q5 PHEV is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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 momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Q5 PHEV'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 Q5 PHEV shocks? If your Q5 PHEV shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Q5 PHEV might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
