Is It Time For 2015 Volvo S60 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2015 Volvo S60, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your S60 jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2015 Volvo S60 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo S60

Your 2015 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. 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 S60’s shocks and struts 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. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 Volvo S60 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 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. 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo S60 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Volvo S60 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my S60 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo S60 are bad? Worn S60 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S60 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S60 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
