Is It Time For 1993 Volkswagen Jetta Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1993 Volkswagen Jetta, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Jetta feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Volkswagen Jetta in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Jetta suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volkswagen Jetta’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Jetta Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Volkswagen Jetta’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1993 Volkswagen Jetta shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Jetta shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Jetta’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 Jetta Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Jetta's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Jetta? 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 connect with the road how Volkswagen intended.
  • Does my Volkswagen Jetta power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Jetta is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Jetta bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Volkswagen Jetta 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.
  • Why does my Jetta's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Jetta 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 Jetta shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Jetta feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Jetta travels over minor bumps.
