Is It Time For 2020 Volkswagen Passat Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2020 Volkswagen Passat, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Passat feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Volkswagen Passat, bring it 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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 your Volkswagen Passat’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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

Your 2020 Volkswagen Passat’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2020 Volkswagen Passat shock and strut replacement 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. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Volkswagen Passat suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2020 Passat Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volkswagen's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Passat? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Volkswagen intended.
  • Does my Volkswagen Passat power steering fluid need to be checked? 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’ll follow Volkswagen service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Passat to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Passat's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Passat 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 Passat shocks? Worn Passat shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Passat might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Passat shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
