When To Get 2020 Volvo XC40 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2020 Volvo XC40, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XC40 bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2020 Volvo XC40 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your XC40 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 Volvo XC40’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo XC40 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Volvo XC40’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2020 Volvo XC40 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volvo XC40 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Volvo XC40 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 XC40 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Volvo XC40 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 should I have my Volvo XC40 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XC40’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volvo XC40 bouncing 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my XC40 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XC40 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo XC40 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XC40 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XC40 travels over minor bumps.
