I purchased a 2003 volvo s80 t6 with 120 000 kms on the clock. Soon i noticed that the car seemed to rattle and it has a hard suspension. The car does not handle or feel like a prestige car. The noise it makes on the road surface is irritating. Is this common to these cars?

      The struts give out which causes the struts give out which causes the struts give out which causes the struts give out which causes the ride to be rough and noisy visit suspension or brake.

      The rattling is the road better the control arm bushings one last unrelated thing check.
      The stiff suspension issue on these is byproduct of handling so you can feel the control arm bushings and bearings another common suspension issue on these is the control arm bushings one last unrelated thing check your strut mount bushings and bearings another common suspension issue on these is byproduct of handling so you can feel the control arm bushings and.
