Is It Time For 2006 Volvo XC70 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2006 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. Maybe your XC70 jolts, leans 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 2006 Volvo XC70 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your XC70 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your XC70 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 XC70 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2006 Volvo XC70’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Volvo up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Volvo XC70’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC70 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Volvo XC70 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 XC70 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC70's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Volvo XC70? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Volvo intended.
  • When should I have my Volvo XC70 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XC70 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Volvo XC70 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 XC70 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XC70's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo XC70 are bad? Worn XC70 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XC70 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XC70 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
