When To Get 2016 Volvo V60 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2016 Volvo V60, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your V60 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Volvo V60 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Volvo V60 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo V60

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Volvo V60 suspension system. 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 2016 Volvo V60’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Volvo V60 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Volvo V60’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2016 V60 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Volvo V60 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 connect with the road how Volvo intended.
  • Does my Volvo V60 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 V60 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volvo V60 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my V60's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your V60 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Volvo V60 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your V60 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your V60 travels over minor bumps.
