Is It Time For 2006 Audi S4 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2006 Audi S4, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your S4 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Audi S4 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. 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 components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your S4 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Audi S4 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Audi S4 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2006 Audi S4’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S4’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Audi S4 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2006 Audi S4’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 S4 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Audi's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Audi S4? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi S4 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your S4 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Audi S4 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 S4 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my S4 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S4'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 S4 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S4 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S4 travels over minor bumps.
