Does Your 1995 Volkswagen Passat Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1995 Volkswagen Passat, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Passat feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1995 Volkswagen Passat in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Passat suspension system needs repair, 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 Volkswagen Passat’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 Passat Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1995 Volkswagen Passat’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1995 Volkswagen Passat’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Passat shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1995 Volkswagen Passat suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1995 Volkswagen Passat Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Passat? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.
  • When does Volkswagen Passat power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Passat’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Passat to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Volkswagen Passat 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 Passat tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Volkswagen Passat need replacing? 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.
