Does Your 2010 Volvo V70 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Volvo V70, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! 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 2010 Volvo V70 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volvo V70 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volvo V70 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2010 Volvo V70’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2010 Volvo V70 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volvo V70 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Volvo V70 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2010 Volvo V70 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Volvo's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Volvo V70 bounce so much? 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 V70's nose dive down when I hit 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo V70 are bad? 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.
