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 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.

Why should my Volkswagen Tiguan get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

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 should I have my Volkswagen Tiguan power steering fluid checked?

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

Why is my Volkswagen Tiguan bouncing excessively?

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

Why does my Tiguan'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 Tiguan are bad?

If your Tiguan shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Tiguan might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Tiguan feels bouncy, sways 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 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel 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 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 Tiguan 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 Tiguan Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 Tiguan’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Tiguan shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.
