Does Your 1994 Volkswagen Golf Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1994 Volkswagen Golf, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Golf bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1994 Volkswagen Golf, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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’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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Volkswagen Golf suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Golf’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Golf shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Volkswagen Golf suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1994 Golf Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Golf? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.
  • When does Volkswagen Golf power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Golf’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Golf 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.
  • Why does my Golf front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Golf 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.
  • What do worn Volkswagen Golf shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Golf feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Golf travels over minor bumps.
