When To Get 2012 Volvo XC60 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2012 Volvo XC60, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your XC60 jolts, drifts 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 2012 Volvo XC60 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 your XC60 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 XC60 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2012 Volvo XC60’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 2012 Volvo XC60’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volvo XC60 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Volvo XC60 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 XC60 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Volvo intended.
  • When does Volvo XC60 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XC60 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Volvo XC60 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 XC60 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XC60 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo XC60 are bad? If your XC60 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your XC60 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
