Does Your 2003 Volvo V70 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2003 Volvo V70, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your V70 bounces, leans 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 2003 Volvo V70 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper 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 V70 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Volvo V70’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2003 Volvo V70’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Volvo V70 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Volvo V70’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2003 V70 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volvo's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo V70? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 V70 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your V70 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Volvo V70 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Volvo V70 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my V70 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • 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.
