Volvo XC70 struts are a critical component of the vehicle's suspension system. Struts perform a number of tasks that are vital, including bearing the weight of the vehicle, maintaining the wheels in proper alignment, and providing a smooth ride by absorbing the shocks of rough road surfaces. By combining the functionality of a shock absorber and a coil spring within one component, struts help to keep the vehicle stable during cornering, braking, or acceleration. They play a very important role in making driving both comfortable and safe.
What Is The Difference Between Struts and Shock Absorbers?
Struts and shock absorbers are equal in function as part of a car's suspension system but vary in material and function. Shock absorbers are standalone devices that control the movement of the suspension, smoothing the ride through absorption of road shocks. They don't carry the weight of the vehicle in spite of being able to handle the oscillation produced by the springs. Struts, on the other hand, are more complex as they combine multiple functions into a single assembly. A strut typically combines the shock absorber with a coil spring and other structural components, providing damping in addition to structural support to the vehicle. The combination of functions causes struts to have a tremendous responsibility to maintain the vehicle's alignment and ride height. While both are necessary for vehicle comfort and stability, struts offer a more comprehensive suspension design solution, sometimes making them the preferred choice in newer models.
Signs of a Bad Volvo XC70 Strut
- Among the most common signs of a defective strut in a Volvo XC70 are audible clunking or knocking sounds while driving over potholes or road dips.
- You can also feel the bouncing excessively after encountering a pothole or road dip.
- The car may also nose dive dramatically while braking or lean dramatically when turning.
- Irregular wear of the tires is also a symptom, as the suspension is unable to maintain the tires in their correct alignment.
- Additionally, you can notice a significant reduction in ride comfort or an increase in vibrations while driving.
