Is It Time For 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Cabrio bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Cabrio 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 Cabrio steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volkswagen Cabrio

Your 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Cabrio shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Volkswagen Cabrio 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Volkswagen Cabrio power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Cabrio to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Cabrio to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Cabrio to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cabrio combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Cabrio shocks? Worn Cabrio 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.
