Is It Time For 2002 Volvo V70 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2002 Volvo V70, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your V70 jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Volvo V70 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your V70 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo V70 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Volvo V70’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2002 Volvo V70’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volvo V70 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Volvo V70 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2002 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 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 V70 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 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 V70 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 V70’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volvo V70 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my V70 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo V70 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your V70 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your V70 travels over minor bumps.
