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 alert you to the need for 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 Routan?

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.

When should I have my Volkswagen Routan power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Routan’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Volkswagen Routan bounce so much?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Routan to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Routan'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volkswagen Routan are bad?

Worn Routan shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

When To Get 2013 Volkswagen Routan Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2013 Volkswagen Routan, 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. Perhaps your Routan feels bouncy, pulls 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 2013 Volkswagen Routan, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Routan 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 Routan steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volkswagen Routan Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Volkswagen Routan’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Routan’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Routan shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 Volkswagen Routan suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
