Does Your 1990 Volkswagen Fox Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1990 Volkswagen Fox, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Fox jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Volkswagen Fox in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Fox 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 Volkswagen Fox’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.

Volkswagen Fox Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Volkswagen Fox suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Volkswagen Fox shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Fox shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Volkswagen Fox’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 Volkswagen Fox Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Fox? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Volkswagen Fox power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Fox’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Volkswagen Fox 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 Fox to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Fox front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Fox 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volkswagen Fox are bad? Worn Fox 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.
