Does Your 2019 Volkswagen GTI Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2019 Volkswagen GTI, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GTI bounces, leans 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 2019 Volkswagen GTI in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen GTI Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 Volkswagen GTI suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2019 Volkswagen GTI shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen GTI shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2019 Volkswagen GTI suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2019 GTI Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen GTI? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.
  • Does my Volkswagen GTI power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Volkswagen GTI bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Volkswagen GTI might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my GTI to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your GTI when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Volkswagen GTI need replacing? 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.
