Does Your 2018 Audi RS3 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2018 Audi RS3, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your RS3 bounces, drifts 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 2018 Audi RS3, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your RS3 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your RS3 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Audi RS3 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Audi RS3’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 limit vibration and keep your Audi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your RS3’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi RS3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Audi RS3 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2018 Audi RS3 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RS3's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 RS3? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Audi RS3 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 RS3’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Audi RS3 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Audi RS3 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my RS3 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your RS3'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 RS3 are bad? Worn RS3 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your RS3 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your RS3 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
