Does Your 2018 Audi S5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2018 Audi S5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your S5 bounces, pulls 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 S5, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 parts of your Audi S5 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi S5 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Audi S5 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 S5’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Audi S5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Audi S5 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2018 Audi S5 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S5'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. 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi S5 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your S5’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Audi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Audi S5 to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • Why does my S5 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S5'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Audi S5 need replacing? 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.
