Does Your 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Cabriolet jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Cabriolet 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 Cabriolet Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Cabriolet shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1991 Cabriolet Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Cabriolet? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 does Volkswagen Cabriolet 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 Cabriolet is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Cabriolet to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Cabriolet goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Cabriolet front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Cabriolet'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 Cabriolet shocks feel like? Worn Cabriolet 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.
