Does Your 2012 Volkswagen Routan Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2012 Volkswagen Routan, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Routan bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Volkswagen Routan in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Routan suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volkswagen Routan 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volkswagen Routan

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Volkswagen Routan’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2012 Volkswagen Routan shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Routan shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Volkswagen Routan’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2012 Volkswagen Routan Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Routan'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volkswagen Routan? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Volkswagen Routan 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Routan bouncing excessively? 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 Routan tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Routan's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Volkswagen Routan need replacing? If your Routan 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 Routan might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
