850/V70 rear springs and shock absorbers replacement
850V70
How are 850/V70 rear shock absorbers and springs replaced?
1. Remove shock absorber top bolts (3 nuts from inside the car). 2. Remove shock absorber bottom attachment. 3. Jack up the suspension arm so the shock absorber bottom attachment aligns. 4. Install new shock absorber and spring. You will need an 18 mm ring wrench for the shock absorber top.
What are the biggest pitfalls?
The biggest challenges are the top mount bolts and the spring bottom attachment nut. If the bolts don't come loose easily, the job takes longer. In a perfect world, the work goes quickly.
