Is It Time For 2012 Volkswagen Touareg Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Touareg jolts, pulls 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 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Volkswagen Touareg’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volkswagen Touareg Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volkswagen Touareg shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2012 Volkswagen Touareg 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 alert you to the need for 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Volkswagen intended.
  • Does my Volkswagen Touareg power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Touareg’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volkswagen's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volkswagen Touareg bounce 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Touareg to dip forward when I apply 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 do I know if I have worn Volkswagen Touareg shocks? Worn Touareg shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Touareg might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Touareg shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
