When To Get 2007 Volvo V50 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2007 Volvo V50, 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 V50 jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Volvo V50 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your V50 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Volvo V50 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.

Volvo V50 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2007 Volvo V50’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2007 Volvo V50’s shocks and struts replaced 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 V50 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2007 Volvo V50’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 V50 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my V50'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo V50? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 V50 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your V50’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volvo V50 bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Volvo V50 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 V50 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your V50 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Volvo V50 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your V50 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your V50 travels over minor bumps.
