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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Golf R?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.

When should I have my Volkswagen Golf R power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Golf R’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Volkswagen Golf R bounce so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Golf R 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.

What can cause the front end of my Golf R to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Golf R'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.

How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Golf R shocks?

Worn Golf R 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.

When To Get 2024 Volkswagen Golf R Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2024 Volkswagen Golf R, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Golf R feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2024 Volkswagen Golf R, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Volkswagen Golf R’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volkswagen Golf R Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Volkswagen Golf R suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 Volkswagen Golf R’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Golf R shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Golf R’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
