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 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 XC60?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XC60’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Volvo XC60 bounce so much?

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.

What can cause the front end of my XC60 to dip forward when I apply 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.

What do worn Volvo XC60 shocks feel like?

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.

Is It Time For 2024 Volvo XC60 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2024 Volvo XC60, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your XC60 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2024 Volvo XC60 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Volvo XC60’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 Volvo XC60’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC60 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Volvo XC60 suspension 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.
