Is It Time For 2009 Volvo XC90 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2009 Volvo XC90, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your XC90 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Volvo XC90, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XC90 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 XC90 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 XC90 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Volvo XC90’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XC90’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Volvo XC90 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Volvo XC90 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2009 XC90 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Volvo XC90 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 connect with the road how Volvo intended.
  • When should I have my Volvo XC90 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XC90’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Volvo XC90 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Volvo XC90 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my XC90 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XC90 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Volvo XC90 need replacing? Worn XC90 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.
