When To Get 2021 Volvo XC40 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 Volvo XC40, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your XC40 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 Volvo XC40, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your XC40 suspension system needs repair, 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 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Volvo XC40 suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Volvo XC40 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Volvo XC40 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Volvo XC40’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2021 Volvo XC40 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC40's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo XC40? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • Does my Volvo XC40 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 XC40’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Volvo XC40 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XC40 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XC40 tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • What do worn Volvo XC40 shocks feel like? Worn XC40 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XC40 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XC40 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
