Is It Time For 2010 Volvo XC90 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Volvo XC90, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your XC90 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 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 dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 parts of your Volvo XC90 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Volvo XC90

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Volvo XC90 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. 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. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Volvo XC90 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Volvo XC90 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 XC90 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Volvo's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Volvo XC90? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Volvo XC90 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XC90’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Volvo XC90 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XC90 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my XC90 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XC90 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo XC90 are bad? Worn XC90 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XC90 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XC90 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
