When To Get 2016 Volvo XC70 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2016 Volvo XC70, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your XC70 bounces, pulls 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 2016 Volvo XC70 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo XC70

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Volvo XC70’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XC70’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC70 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XC70’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 XC70? 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 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your XC70 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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.
  • What do worn Volvo XC70 shocks feel like? Worn XC70 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
