When To Get 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Golf SportWagen feels bouncy, sways 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 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection 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, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Golf SportWagen suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Golf SportWagen shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 Golf SportWagen Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Golf SportWagen? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.
  • When should I have my Volkswagen Golf SportWagen power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Golf SportWagen is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Golf SportWagen to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Golf SportWagen shocks? If your Golf SportWagen shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Golf SportWagen might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
