Is It Time For 2015 Volvo S80 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2015 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. Maybe your S80 jolts, 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 2015 Volvo S80 in for steering and suspension services. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your S80 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volvo S80 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 S80

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 Volvo S80’s suspension. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2015 Volvo S80’s shocks and struts replaced 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 signs of worn Volvo S80 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S80’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 S80 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volvo's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo S80? 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.
  • When does Volvo S80 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Volvo S80 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 S80 to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo S80 shocks? 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.
