Is It Time For 1998 Volvo S70 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1998 Volvo S70, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S70 jolts, 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 1998 Volvo S70, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your S70 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 parts of your Volvo S70 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo S70

Your 1998 Volvo S70’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S70’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volvo S70 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Volvo S70 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1998 Volvo S70 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S70's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo S70? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • Does my Volvo S70 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 S70 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volvo S70 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your S70 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my S70 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S70's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo S70 shocks? Worn S70 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S70 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S70 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
