Car Fix DIY Videos

►Your Audi’s shocks and springs ensure bumps and ruts are met with composed and comfortable control—or it’s the reason your rear end is dragging on the ground. The B8 generation of Audi A4 is a great platform, but its rear springs are known to rust and snap with age. Replacing your shocks and springs is the only way to restore safety and comfort back to your vehicle in that instance.

If the springs haven’t snapped yet, they may still need replacement. An overly bouncy ride with vague control and plenty of clunks indicated that the shocks have worn completely and require replacement. The lack of shock damping also puts more pressure on the springs, accelerating their demise.

In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s Professional DIY’er, tackles a rear shock and spring replacement on a B8 Audi A4.
