Does Your 2010 Volkswagen Beetle Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Volkswagen Beetle, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Beetle jolts, pulls 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 2010 Volkswagen Beetle in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Beetle suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Beetle 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 Beetle Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Volkswagen Beetle suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Beetle’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Beetle shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Volkswagen Beetle’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2010 Volkswagen Beetle Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Beetle'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Beetle? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Volkswagen intended.
  • Does my Volkswagen Beetle 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 Beetle’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Beetle bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Volkswagen Beetle 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 Beetle's nose dive down when I hit 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? If your Beetle 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 Beetle might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
