Is It Time For 1990 Audi V8 Quattro Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1990 Audi V8 Quattro, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your V8 Quattro bounces, leans 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 1990 Audi V8 Quattro 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your V8 Quattro suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Audi V8 Quattro’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 V8 Quattro Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Audi V8 Quattro’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Audi V8 Quattro’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Audi V8 Quattro shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your V8 Quattro’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 V8 Quattro Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Audi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my Audi V8 Quattro 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 the tires connect with the road how Audi intended.
  • When should I have my Audi V8 Quattro power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your V8 Quattro is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Audi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Audi V8 Quattro to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Audi V8 Quattro 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 V8 Quattro's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your V8 Quattro 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 do I know if I have worn Audi V8 Quattro shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your V8 Quattro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your V8 Quattro travels over minor bumps.
