Does Your 2009 Volvo S60 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Volvo S60, 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 S60 bounces, drifts 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 2009 Volvo S60, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volvo S60’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo S60

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Volvo S60’s suspension. 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 2009 Volvo S60’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Volvo S60 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Volvo S60 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2009 Volvo S60 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo S60? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Volvo S60 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 S60 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volvo S60 bounce 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.
  • What do worn Volvo S60 shocks feel like? 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.
