Does Your 2014 Volvo XC90 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Volvo XC90, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your XC90 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 Volvo XC90 in for suspension and steering service. 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, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel 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 explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Volvo XC90 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Volvo XC90 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Volvo XC90 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Volvo XC90 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC90 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XC90’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2014 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 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 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.
  • Does my Volvo XC90 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XC90 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Volvo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Volvo XC90 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XC90 to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Volvo XC90 are bad? 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.
