Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What type of suspension system does the 2014-Present Audi TT use?

The 2014-Present Audi TT features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a four-link rear suspension. This setup provides a balance of sporty handling and ride comfort, with precise control over wheel movement and stability.

Q2

What is the ground clearance of the Audi TT?

The ground clearance of the 2014-Present Audi TT is approximately 5.9 inches (150 mm). This measurement ensures a low center of gravity for improved handling while maintaining sufficient clearance for most driving conditions.

Q3

Can the suspension be adjusted for performance or comfort?

Yes, the Audi TT offers an optional Audi Magnetic Ride adaptive suspension system. This system uses magnetorheological fluid in the dampers to adjust suspension stiffness in real-time, providing either a sportier or more comfortable ride based on driving conditions and selected mode.

Q4

What is the recommended tire pressure for the Audi TT?

The recommended tire pressure for the Audi TT varies by trim and tire size. For standard models, it is typically 35 psi (2.4 bar) for the front tires and 33 psi (2.3 bar) for the rear tires. Always refer to the tire pressure label on the driver's side door jamb for exact specifications.

Q5

How often should the suspension components be inspected?

Audi recommends inspecting the suspension components every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. This includes checking for wear on bushings, struts, shocks, and control arms. Regular inspections help maintain optimal performance and safety.

Q6

What is the maximum load capacity for the Audi TT suspension?

The maximum load capacity for the Audi TT suspension is approximately 900 lbs (408 kg), including passengers and cargo. Exceeding this limit can compromise suspension performance and safety.
