Does Your 2020 Audi R8 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2020 Audi R8, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your R8 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2020 Audi R8 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Audi R8’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Audi R8 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Audi R8 suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2020 Audi R8’s shocks and struts replaced 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 R8 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Audi R8 suspension 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.

2020 R8 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my R8's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi R8? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • Does my Audi R8 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 R8 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 R8 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my R8 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your R8'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Audi R8 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your R8 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your R8 travels over minor bumps.
