Is It Time For 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Scirocco feels bouncy, leans 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 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Scirocco suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volkswagen Scirocco’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volkswagen Scirocco

Your 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Scirocco shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1983 Scirocco Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Scirocco? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Volkswagen Scirocco 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 Scirocco’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volkswagen Scirocco to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Volkswagen Scirocco 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 Scirocco front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Scirocco'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 do worn Volkswagen Scirocco shocks feel like? Worn Scirocco shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Scirocco might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Scirocco shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
