Does Your 2005 Volvo XC70 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2005 Volvo XC70, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your XC70 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Volvo XC70 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XC70 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Volvo XC70’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo XC70

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Volvo XC70’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Volvo XC70’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volvo XC70 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Volvo XC70’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 XC70 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC70's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 XC70? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 does Volvo XC70 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 XC70’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Volvo XC70 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XC70 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XC70 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XC70'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.
  • What do worn Volvo XC70 shocks feel like? If your XC70 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 XC70 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
