What Is Audi Dynamic Ride Control (DRC)?

Audi’s dynamic ride control is a sophisticated suspension system you find on high-performance models such as the RS4, RS6, and select S-line vehicles.

DRC uses interconnected dampers and hydraulic circuits to reduce body roll when it tilts or leans going through a corner or turn, improve handling and deliver that signature smooth, yet sporty drive Audi is known for.

However, like all advanced technology, DRC systems require the right level of knowledge and potentially complex repairs, particularly as they age or rack up mileage.

Common Warning Signs Your Audi DRC May Need Attention

Noticeably Firmer or Less Responsive Ride Quality

A sudden change in how your Audi handles bumps or corners, such as the ride feeling much harsher, stiffer or unexpectedly soft, often points to a problem in the suspension or DRC system. The DRC is engineered to deliver both comfort and sharp handling, so if it's not working correctly, you may experience increased vibrations, poor shock absorption and a general decline in handling precision.

Warning Lights on the Dashboard

Modern Audis are equipped with sophisticated diagnostics that alert drivers to system malfunctions via dashboard warning lights. If your DRC system develops a fault, you’ll likely see specific warning symbols on your dashboard.

Unusual Knocking or Hissing Noises Over Bumps

Audible signs like squeaking, knocking and clunking are classic indicators of suspension trouble. With a DRC, hissing could suggest a hydraulic fluid leak or pressure loss within the system, while knocking points to failing dampers or loose components.

Uneven Vehicle Stance

A key function of the DRC and Audi’s advanced suspension is maintaining a level and balanced ride height. If your car appears lower on one side, this could be due to failures within the DRC system.

Uneven Tyre Wear or Poor Steering

Worn DRC components or misaligned suspension can cause tyres to wear more rapidly on one side, affecting grip, fuel economy and overall driving safety.

Ignoring the symptoms can lead to greater suspension wear or even damage to other crucial components of the car, which is why it's essential to trust DRC repairs to specialists and defer to garage experts who understand the system inside out.

The Importance of Timely Audi DRC Repairs

Maintaining your Audi's dynamic ride control system is not just about comfort, but is a matter of safety. If you ignore warning signs or delay repairs, this will result in costly damage to the suspension and could even affect your vehicle's braking and handling.

A malfunctioning DRC system can cause a wealth of issues. This is why at MB Motors, we stress the importance of early diagnosis and prompt repair to keep your Audi safe and performing at its optimum.
