Is It Time For 2000 Volvo V70 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2000 Volvo V70, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your V70 feels bouncy, 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 2000 Volvo V70 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub 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 Volvo V70’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 V70 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Volvo V70 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 2000 Volvo V70’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Volvo V70 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your V70’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 V70 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my V70's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo V70? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 should I have my Volvo V70 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volvo V70 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your V70 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my V70 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your V70's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Volvo V70 shocks feel like? Worn V70 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your V70 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your V70 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
