Does Your 2009 Audi S4 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2009 Audi S4, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your S4 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2009 Audi S4 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Audi S4’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi S4 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Audi S4’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. 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. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Audi S4 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Audi S4 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2009 S4 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Audi S4 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Audi S4 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your S4’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Audi S4 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Audi S4 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.
  • Why does my S4 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S4 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Audi S4 need replacing? 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.
