When To Get 2014 Volvo S60 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2014 Volvo S60, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your S60 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 Volvo S60 in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your S60 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your S60 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo S60 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2014 Volvo S60’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Volvo S60 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volvo S60 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Volvo S60 suspension 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.

2014 S60 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo S60? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 S60 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your S60’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo S60 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your S60 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my S60 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your S60 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further 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.
