Does Your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Atlas jolts, leans 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 2021 Volkswagen Atlas, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Atlas suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Atlas steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volkswagen Atlas Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas suspension system. 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 2021 Volkswagen Atlas shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Atlas shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Atlas’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.

2021 Atlas Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Atlas? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does Volkswagen Atlas power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Atlas’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Volkswagen Atlas bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Atlas front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Atlas'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 do worn Volkswagen Atlas shocks feel like? Worn Atlas shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
