When To Get 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Scirocco jolts, 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 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 your Scirocco steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Volkswagen up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Scirocco shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1988 Scirocco Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volkswagen's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volkswagen Scirocco? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Volkswagen intended.
  • When does Volkswagen Scirocco power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volkswagen Scirocco 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 Scirocco to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Scirocco tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Scirocco combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Scirocco shocks? 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.
