Does Your 1987 Volvo 780 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1987 Volvo 780, 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 780 bounces, pulls 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 1987 Volvo 780 in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 780 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Volvo 780 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo 780 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Volvo 780 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 780’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Volvo 780 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Volvo 780’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 780 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 780's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 780? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • When does Volvo 780 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 780 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volvo 780 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 780 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my 780 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 780 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Volvo 780 shocks feel like? Worn 780 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 780 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 780 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
