When To Get 2021 Volvo XC60 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2021 Volvo XC60, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your XC60 jolts, 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 XC60, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Volvo XC60’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XC60’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC60 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Volvo XC60’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo XC60? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Volvo intended.
  • When should I have my Volvo XC60 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XC60’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo XC60 bouncing 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XC60 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 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.
