When To Get 2016 Volvo XC60 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Volvo XC60, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XC60 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Volvo XC60 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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XC60 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Volvo XC60 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 XC60 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2016 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 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 an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volvo XC60 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Volvo XC60’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2016 Volvo XC60 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Volvo XC60 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • When does Volvo XC60 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your XC60 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Volvo XC60 bouncing excessively? 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 XC60 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XC60'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 XC60 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XC60 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XC60 travels over minor bumps.
