When To Get 2002 Audi S8 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2002 Audi S8, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S8 bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Audi S8 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your Audi S8’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Audi S8 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Audi S8’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S8’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Audi S8 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Audi S8’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2002 Audi S8 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S8'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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Audi S8 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 connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi S8 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your S8’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Audi S8 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S8 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 S8's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S8 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 do worn Audi S8 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S8 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S8 travels over minor bumps.
