Does Your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Golf SportWagen jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Golf SportWagen 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen

Your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Volkswagen Golf SportWagen get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Volkswagen Golf SportWagen 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 Golf SportWagen is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Golf SportWagen bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Golf SportWagen to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Golf SportWagen to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Golf SportWagen'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Volkswagen Golf SportWagen need replacing? Worn Golf SportWagen shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Golf SportWagen might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Golf SportWagen shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
