Is It Time For 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Golf Alltrack jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, bring it 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Golf Alltrack suspension system needs repair, 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 Golf Alltrack 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.

Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Golf Alltrack shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volkswagen's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Golf Alltrack? 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 the tires connect with the road how Volkswagen intended.
  • When should I have my Volkswagen Golf Alltrack power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Golf Alltrack 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 Golf Alltrack to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Golf Alltrack front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Golf Alltrack 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 Golf Alltrack are bad? Worn Golf Alltrack shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Golf Alltrack might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Golf Alltrack shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
