When To Get 1985 Volvo 760 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Volvo 760, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 760 bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1985 Volvo 760 in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 760 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Volvo 760’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volvo 760 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Volvo 760’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Volvo 760 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volvo 760 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Volvo 760 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1985 Volvo 760 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 760's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 760? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 760 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 760’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo 760 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Volvo 760 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 760 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 760's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo 760 are bad? Worn 760 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 760 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 760 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
