Is It Time For 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Scirocco feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volkswagen Scirocco 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.

Volkswagen Scirocco Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Scirocco shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Scirocco’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Scirocco Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Scirocco's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Volkswagen intended.
  • When does Volkswagen Scirocco power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Scirocco’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Scirocco bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Scirocco to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
