When To Get 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Rabbit Convertible bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Rabbit Convertible suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Rabbit Convertible's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 should my Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Rabbit Convertible’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible 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 Rabbit Convertible to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Rabbit Convertible's nose dive down 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible shocks? If your Rabbit Convertible 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 Rabbit Convertible might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
