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 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 R8?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Audi intended.

When does Audi R8 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your R8’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Audi R8 bounce 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?

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 do I know if I have worn Audi R8 shocks?

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.

Is It Time For 2023 Audi R8 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2023 Audi R8, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your R8 bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your R8 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 your R8 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi R8 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2023 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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2023 Audi R8 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Audi R8 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Audi R8 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
