When To Get 1994 Volvo 960 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1994 Volvo 960, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 960 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1994 Volvo 960 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 960 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 your 960 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 960 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Volvo 960’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 960’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volvo 960 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 960’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 960 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 960's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Volvo 960 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Volvo 960 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo 960 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 960 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 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 shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 960 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 960 travels over minor bumps.
