When To Get 2005 Volvo S80 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2005 Volvo S80, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your S80 bounces, pulls 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 2005 Volvo S80 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 S80 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo S80

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Volvo S80 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Volvo S80 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Volvo S80 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S80’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2005 Volvo S80 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S80's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Why should my Volvo S80 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 S80 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your S80’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Volvo S80 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S80 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.
  • Why does my S80 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your S80 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.
  • What do worn Volvo S80 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S80 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S80 travels over minor bumps.
