Is It Time For 2008 Volvo S60 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Volvo S60, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your S60 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2008 Volvo S60, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your S60 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Volvo S60 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 S60 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Volvo S60’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Volvo S60 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volvo S60 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Volvo S60’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.

2008 S60 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S60's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo S60? 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.
  • Does my Volvo S60 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 S60’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volvo S60 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S60 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my S60 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo S60 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S60 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S60 travels over minor bumps.
