Does Your 2014 Volvo XC70 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Volvo XC70, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your XC70 feels bouncy, pulls 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 2014 Volvo XC70 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Volvo XC70’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.

Volvo XC70 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Volvo XC70’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 limit vibration and keep your Volvo up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Volvo XC70 shock and strut replacement 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 signs of worn Volvo XC70 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Volvo XC70 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.

2014 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 alert you to the need for 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Volvo intended.
  • Does my Volvo XC70 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Volvo XC70 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my XC70 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XC70 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.
  • 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.
