When To Get 2010 Volvo XC60 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2010 Volvo XC60, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XC60 bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Volvo XC60, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Volvo XC60’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo XC60

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Volvo XC60 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Volvo XC60’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC60 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XC60’s 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.

2010 XC60 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC60'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 should my Volvo XC60 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Volvo XC60 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your XC60’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Volvo XC60 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Volvo XC60 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.
  • Why does my XC60 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XC60 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo XC60 shocks? Worn XC60 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XC60 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XC60 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
