Does Your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Atlas feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Volkswagen Atlas’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Atlas Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Atlas’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Atlas shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2022 Atlas Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Atlas's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Atlas? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 Volkswagen intended.
  • Does my Volkswagen Atlas power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Atlas’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volkswagen Atlas bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Atlas to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Atlas to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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? If your Atlas shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Atlas might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
