Is It Time For 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Jetta bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2010 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Jetta steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volkswagen Jetta Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Jetta shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 Jetta Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Jetta's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Jetta? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Volkswagen Jetta power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Jetta is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Jetta bouncing so much? 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 tilt forward 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Jetta shocks? If your Jetta shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Jetta might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
