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 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 should my Audi Q7 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When should I have my Audi Q7 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Q7’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Audi Q7 bouncing so much?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Q7 to bounce more than usual.

What can cause the front end of my Q7 to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi Q7 are bad?

Worn Q7 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Q7 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Q7 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2020 Audi Q7 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2020 Audi Q7, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Q7 jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Audi Q7, bring it 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Q7 suspension system needs repair, 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 Q7 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 Q7 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Audi Q7’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Q7’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Audi Q7 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Audi Q7’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
