Malaysian Roads and Audi Suspension
Malaysia's roads range from smooth highways to pothole-heavy urban streets with speed humps that stress suspension components. The Q5's suspension bushings and shock absorbers absorb these impacts continuously. Warning signs: car floats at highway speed, wallows on speed humps, knocks over sharp bumps, or shows uneven tyre wear. At 4M Car Care we inspect the full suspension geometry during every wheel alignment job — catching worn bushings before they cause secondary steering or tyre damage. Quattro models also require front differential fluid checks not covered by standard CBS intervals.
