Is It Time For 2018 Volvo V60 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2018 Volvo V60, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your V60 bounces, pulls 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 2018 Volvo V60 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volvo V60’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo V60 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Volvo V60’s suspension. 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 2018 Volvo V60 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volvo V60 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Volvo V60 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2018 V60 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Volvo intended.
  • When does Volvo V60 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 V60’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo V60 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your V60 to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo V60 shocks? 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.
