Is It Time For 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Scirocco bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Scirocco suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Scirocco steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Scirocco Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Scirocco’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volkswagen Scirocco shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volkswagen's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Scirocco? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.
  • 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 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 Scirocco 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 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Volkswagen Scirocco need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Scirocco feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Scirocco travels over minor bumps.
