Does Your 2011 Volvo S80 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2011 Volvo S80, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your S80 feels bouncy, drifts 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 2011 Volvo S80 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your S80 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 S80 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2011 Volvo S80’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 S80’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volvo S80 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Volvo S80 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2011 Volvo S80 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S80's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo S80? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • When does Volvo S80 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volvo S80 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my S80 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 S80 shocks feel like? Worn S80 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S80 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S80 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
