When To Get 2007 Volkswagen Beetle Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2007 Volkswagen Beetle, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Beetle feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Volkswagen Beetle 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Volkswagen Beetle’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volkswagen Beetle

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Volkswagen Beetle’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Beetle’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Beetle shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2007 Volkswagen Beetle’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 Beetle Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Volkswagen Beetle get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Beetle power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Beetle is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Beetle bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Beetle to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Beetle to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Beetle 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.
  • What do worn Volkswagen Beetle shocks feel like? Worn Beetle shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Beetle might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Beetle shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
