How do I troubleshoot the suspension system on my Audi 80?

I recently noticed my Audi 80's suspension feels a bit off and I'm not sure what the problem could be. Can someone provide some tips for troubleshooting and diagnosing suspension issues on this model?

Hi Samantha, suspension issues can be difficult to diagnose without a professional inspection. However, a common issue with the Audi 80 is worn out shock absorbers. Check for any leakage or uneven tire wear which could indicate a problem with the shocks. Also, make sure to regularly check and replace worn out suspension components like control arms and bushings. If these tips don't solve the issue, it's best to take your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Hey Samantha, another commonly overlooked issue with the Audi 80 suspension is worn out strut mounts. These can cause a clunking noise and affect the handling of your car. Make sure to regularly check and replace these mounts as needed. Additionally, if you notice any vibration or shaking when driving, it could indicate an issue with the wheel bearings. Get these checked and replaced if necessary to ensure a smooth ride.
