Is It Time For 1993 Volvo 960 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Volvo 960, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 960 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Volvo 960 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 your Volvo 960’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo 960 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1993 Volvo 960’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1993 Volvo 960’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volvo 960 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 960’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 960 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 960's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo 960? 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.
  • Does my Volvo 960 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 960 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volvo 960 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 960 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 960's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 960 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 960 shocks feel like? Worn 960 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 960 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 960 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
