When To Get 2021 Volkswagen Golf Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2021 Volkswagen Golf, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Golf feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Volkswagen Golf in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Golf suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Golf 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Volkswagen Golf’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Golf’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Golf shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Golf’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 Golf Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Volkswagen Golf 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 should I have my Volkswagen Golf power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Golf’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volkswagen Golf bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Golf to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Golf to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Volkswagen Golf are bad? Worn Golf shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Golf might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Golf shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
