Does Your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Touareg feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 parts of your Volkswagen Touareg 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 Touareg Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg’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. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Volkswagen Touareg shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg suspension 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.

2008 Touareg Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Touareg's steering and 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 Touareg get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Volkswagen Touareg 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 Touareg is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Volkswagen's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Touareg bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Volkswagen Touareg 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 Touareg tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Touareg 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.
  • What do worn Volkswagen Touareg shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Touareg feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Touareg travels over minor bumps.
