When To Get 1995 Volvo 850 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1995 Volvo 850, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 850 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1995 Volvo 850, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 850 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 850 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 850 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1995 Volvo 850’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1995 Volvo 850’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Volvo 850 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1995 Volvo 850’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1995 850 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volvo's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo 850? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Volvo 850 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 850’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Volvo 850 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 850 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 850's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 850'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 do I know if I have worn Volvo 850 shocks? If your 850 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 850 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
