Volvo repairSuspensions
Volvo suspension repair in Seattle.
Suspension diagnosis and repair for any model of Volvo. Let's smooth out your drive.
245 wagon, roof rack and allYour Volvo's suspension is what gives you a smooth, controlled ride when you corner, accelerate or brake. Shocks and struts keep the car planted and keep you from bouncing around inside it.
If you've been feeling jostled lately, the suspension is the first place to look. We'll pinpoint what's worn and replace or adjust it, right here in Ballard.
Suspension work we do
- Inspection & diagnosisWe find the worn part before replacing anything.
- Shocks & strutsReplaced when they've stopped controlling the ride.
- Anti-sway bars & linksFixes for clunks and body roll.
- Bushings & mountsWorn rubber replaced to tighten things up.
- Alignment afterwardSo the new parts and your tires wear evenly.
Volvo-specific care
Each Volvo generation has its own suspension design and its own usual wear points. We know them, so the diagnosis is quick and the fix is the right one.

Good questions
Suspensions: what people ask us.
How do I know if my shocks or struts are worn?
Bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking and uneven tire wear are the usual clues. A quick inspection confirms it.
Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Usually, yes. We'll tell you if your repair calls for one.
Can I bring it in just to be checked?
Of course. Bring your Volvo over to Ballard and we'll have a look.
