Is It Time For 1993 Volkswagen Passat Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1993 Volkswagen Passat, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Passat bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Volkswagen Passat in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Passat suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Volkswagen Passat suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Passat Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Volkswagen Passat’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1993 Volkswagen Passat’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Passat shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Passat’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1993 Volkswagen Passat Steering & Suspension

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Passat? 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 the tires connect with the road how Volkswagen intended.
  • When does Volkswagen Passat power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Passat’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Passat 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 Passat to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Passat front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Passat shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Passat feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Passat travels over minor bumps.
