Is It Time For 2013 Volvo XC90 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2013 Volvo XC90, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XC90 jolts, 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 2013 Volvo XC90, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Volvo XC90 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Volvo XC90’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Volvo XC90’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Volvo XC90 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 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.

Questions About 2013 Volvo XC90 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC90's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 XC90? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 XC90 power steering fluid 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 can fill it per Volvo's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Volvo XC90 bouncing excessively? 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 XC90's nose dive down 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Volvo XC90 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XC90 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XC90 travels over minor bumps.
