Is It Time For 2016 Volvo XC90 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 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. 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 2016 Volvo XC90, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XC90 suspension system needs repair, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Volvo XC90 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Volvo XC90 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Volvo XC90 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Volvo XC90 suspension 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.

2016 XC90 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XC90'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Volvo XC90 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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? 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 top it off per Volvo's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Volvo XC90 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 XC90 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my XC90 to dip forward when I apply 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? If your XC90 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your XC90 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
