When To Get 2021 Audi R8 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 Audi R8, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your R8 bounces, pulls 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 2021 Audi R8 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 R8 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Your 2021 Audi R8’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Audi R8 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side 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 2021 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.

2021 R8 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Audi R8? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • When does Audi R8 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 R8 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Audi R8 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 R8 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my R8 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your R8 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 do worn Audi R8 shocks feel like? If your R8 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 R8 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
