Is It Time For 2008 Volvo XC70 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2008 Volvo XC70, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XC70 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2008 Volvo XC70 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your XC70 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Volvo XC70 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Volvo XC70 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2008 Volvo XC70 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Volvo XC70 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Volvo XC70’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2008 Volvo XC70 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC70's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 should my Volvo XC70 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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? 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? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XC70 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XC70 travels over minor bumps.
