Does Your 2015 Volkswagen GTI Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2015 Volkswagen GTI, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your GTI jolts, drifts 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 2015 Volkswagen GTI, 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your GTI suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your GTI 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 GTI Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 Volkswagen GTI suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 GTI’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Volkswagen GTI shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 Volkswagen GTI suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2015 GTI Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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 GTI? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 GTI power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your GTI is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volkswagen GTI bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GTI to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GTI tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GTI'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volkswagen GTI are bad? Worn GTI shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your GTI might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your GTI shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
