Is It Time For 1993 Volvo 240 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1993 Volvo 240, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 240 bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Volvo 240 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volvo 240’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo 240 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Volvo 240’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 240’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volvo 240 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Volvo 240 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1993 240 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 240's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo 240? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • Does my Volvo 240 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 240’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Volvo 240 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 240 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 240's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo 240 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 240 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 240 travels over minor bumps.
