Does Your 2009 Audi S5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2009 Audi S5, 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 S5 jolts, 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 2009 Audi S5 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your S5 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 S5 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Audi S5

Your 2009 Audi S5’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. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Audi S5 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Audi S5 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S5’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 S5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S5's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Audi S5 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • When does Audi S5 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 S5 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Audi S5 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S5 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my S5 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your S5 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi S5 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S5 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S5 travels over minor bumps.
