Does Your 1984 Volvo 244 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1984 Volvo 244, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 244 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Volvo 244, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 244 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volvo 244 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Volvo 244’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Volvo up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Volvo 244 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volvo 244 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 244’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 244 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo 244? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • When should I have my Volvo 244 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 244 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo 244 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 244 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 244 to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Volvo 244 need replacing? Worn 244 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 244 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 244 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
