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 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 should my Volkswagen Jetta get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 does Volkswagen Jetta power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Jetta is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Volkswagen Jetta bouncing so much?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Jetta to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Jetta's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Jetta 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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Volkswagen Jetta are bad?

Worn Jetta shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Is It Time For 1995 Volkswagen Jetta Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1995 Volkswagen Jetta, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Jetta feels bouncy, drifts 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 1995 Volkswagen Jetta in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volkswagen Jetta suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Jetta Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1995 Volkswagen Jetta’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1995 Volkswagen Jetta shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Jetta shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1995 Volkswagen Jetta’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
