Thanks for posting this, you've just saved my ~£400! I was going to book my car in to the dealer to have both rear shocks replaced, but will do it myself after seeing this!

[@shaun4183]

Thanks. Super easy. Completed both sides in about an hour using the video

[@hunati31]

Oh my GOD! Seems so easy. I will do it myself. Thank you young man!

[@fcpeuro]

we believe in you hunati31!

@@fcpeuro Finally I received the rear shocks today. Thank God for the gorgeous weather here in Florida. I was able to replace the shocks with one little catch. The mounting plate is not so easy to remove and put back since the rod is spinning in the shock body. You gotta have a impact wrench for that, luckily I have one. 2 hours work saved me $400 compared to Goodyear quote. Thanks again.

Just ordered my rear shock absorbers PN 31340540 from FCP Euro to get them installed soon. Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation in the video-it’s really helpful! Great job breaking down the process step by step.

[@fcpeuro]

Awesome!!!

[@garthbosman7147]

please do P3 front struts- thank u FCP!

[@fcpeuro]

We can add that to the list of DIYs!

Front struts please

Particularly in detail how to get the bottom of the strut out of the socket.

You guys are awesome. Thanks for these great diy videos. Kind regards from the Netherlands.

awesome info- more volvo please!

More Volvo on the way!

[@davidcarroll2152]

Just about to buy an XC60 so I'm sure these guides will come in handy. Thanks :)

[@fcpeuro]

Few more P3 XC60 specific DIY's on the way!

[@soylentgreen2065]

i hope its not too late, but NEVER BUY A VOLVO!!! total crap cars. lots more reliave and safe vehicles that are not DESIGNED to frustrate the owner out of DIY repairs. if you have made a vovlo purchase take it as a lesson and get rid of it while you can. NEVER BUY A VOLVO, take it from someone who has lots of experience with them.

[@XiseTK]

@@soylentgreen2065 they are entirely easy as hell to work on what are you talking about? They are only a pain if you have Nivomat rear suspension bc there is no aftermarket support for those or awd rear suspension.

[@charles9571]

I bought a 2017 XC90 and nothing but problems. Major engine issues at 30,000 miles, rear squirter doesn't work, O2 sensors went bad in 2 years, Air conditioner doesn't work. Be prepared to have a never ending check engine light notification. I can't sell this car fast enough.

[@arnaudlebrun9068]

Thank you for the vidéo. It looks like very easy. I gonna try next month. Thanks a lot😊

[@fcpeuro]

You got this!

[@santiagobarrero186]

Please do a DIY Catalytic converter replacement video! thank you!

[@aggieE46]

Please do a video on the rear trailing arm bushings. 2015 v60 and mine are shot.

[@hakanolsson1153]

Great video!♥️

[@kamalchohan6441]

I had a cylinder shaped....washer type object?? between the strut mount and the strut of my Volvo S60. Do i need to replace this in the same way it came out?

[@Pede711]

If you need more suggestions I could use that you showed Volvo P3 rear wheelbearings / hubs replacements. Thanks in advance :-)

[@ap6232]

A different video said you needed to prime the shock before installing. Is that the case? Doesn't seem like it would hurt anything, but also wasn't sure if it was necessary/beneficial.

[@Crashjr86]

I've just ordered the front strut Mount kit from you guys for my 17 v60 polestar. Any vids for that yet?

[@trancegsi]

Can these top mount knock and rattle ... nightmare noise every bump rapid totally in line with each bump. Nothing else looks loose component wise??

[@msschill]

What did you find out? My XC60 is doing the same thing, mechanic said swap out sway bar bushings. I'm also going to do the end links as well.

[@trancegsi]

@@msschill top mounts sorted

[@glennda5id]

@@trancegsi Does that mean you replace them and the noise went away?

[@ogfromutube9649]

S80 T6 p3 the same shock setup? Just bought it 3 days ago and haven't had it on my lift yet. But something lightly clunking aounds like im the trunk almost.

[@ogfromutube9649]

Ps @fcpeuro I just bought the mounts from you guys as well as fuel pressure sensor. Getting a very random p0087.. wasn't enough to turn a cel and would just be pending and now progressively getting more frequent to where it caused a cel once.

[@silvasmain]

Same here what was the issue??

[@brianseiferth2681]

What is that stand/vise/homemade table for your battery powered ban saw @ 3min into the video? I've been saying for years some one needs to make a stand like that so you can table cut materals in the field. Where can I get one?

[@robertasviskupaitis9195]

is there a video for front shocks?

[@lt_sulu]

What is the difference comparing to Nivomat? I would like to change standard shock absorbers to Nivo.

[@joelpetersson3317]

Hi! I have a s60 where only the upper mount itself has broken, is it adviseable to only change tjat or should you alwas swap out the entite shock? Thanks!

[@tomaszgraczyk1606]

thanks man

[@fcpeuro]

😎👍

[@bernardaflores1720]

Much nicer design on the upper mount when compared P-80's cars. The bolts extend down to the tire and they get rusty and brake when you attempt to removed them.

[@res.l.8782]

Similar question as another guy and kind of need an answer quickly. Mine has a standoff as part of the assembly. Bout an inch tall, fits over the center treads. I wasn't paying attention when I took this off. Where does it go? Under the boot washer? Between the boot and mount? Under the nut inside the mount? I can't find a good picture that answers this. *bellow not boot

[@DSelbyEsq]

How do you know if it’s the shock that needs to be replaced versus a diff suspension component

I am not sure what you are talking about> What is a "standard suspension" and how would i know what is on my vehicle??

[@EmilBMWable]

Thanks for the video! I have 4c struts on my 2010 xc70. The replacementprocedure looks the same to me. Do you know if you need to recalibrate the 4c suspension in Vida in order for the new shocks to work properly?

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Merde, while you could possibly get away with just swapping out the parts, it is recommended to have the system calibrated to maximize performance of the units.

[@EmilBMWable]

@@fcpeuro thank you for the quick response!

[@TheLORDsArmy1]

Help help pleas; I held the shocks IAW the video; but the 13mm nut is just spinning and not getting tied Please advisr

[@AnthonyS80-V8]

Use a small impact otherwise you will need a shock absorber socket # DD5.2 to counter, Torque it to 25nm

[@ChrisBaccus]

Is it really torque to 150 Newton Meters for the lower bolt? That’s 1327.6119 in-lb ?

[@res.l.8782]

Convert to ft lbs. Makes more sense.

[@cleantubekey]

How much different will it be for an active chassis 4C shock replacement?

[@iordachedan6048]

It's the same procedure 😊

[@гидравлическийдомкрат]

Покажите как пружины менять🤔?

[@andrewcherry3330]

Why change shock absorber mount and put on rusty bolts back?((((

[@fcpeuro]

Hey Andrew! While that would be a great addition, depedning on personal needs some of our customers choose not to, niether way is wrong

[@theblockchainadvisor-cenac8683]

How do I know if it is a standard or Niviment?

[@fcpeuro]

Hi there, a visual inspection should be a clear giveaway as the bodies are pretty different between the two. Another way is by contacting our service team via email at [e-mail] and providing them with your VIN and ID plate!

[@smiIingman]

Oh god i cringe so hard when people put fresh new parts on old exposed surfaces without giving them a scrape and some vaseline..

[@FlatbottomBomber]

Yeah, what drives me nuts is they give you all brand new bolts with each part they ship but never use them in their videos. Also, they are based out of the US and use Newton Meter torque specs. I was raised on Foot Pounds, not the conversion of Foot Pounds...

[@pauloalves1581]

Volvo s40 maquina

[@UB4PMC]

Я ни чего не понял , но у меня тоже volvo s80 -)

[@daveberquist2593]

It says "XC70" but my 2004 XC70 requires removal of the spring/shock assy - seems like the same process for removing the front strut/spring. Sort of misleading or am I not seeing something? Thanks

[@fcpeuro]

Hi, Dave. Your 2004 XC70 is a P2 generation Volvo, this video is for a P3 generation XC70, etc. That is probably why you are noticing differences. We will be sure to make that more clear!

[@paulmiller3943]

Iîu

[@Renew60]

What is the torque spec for the shock to upper mount? Upper mount to car is 30Nm

[@AnthonyS80-V8]

Torque spec is 25nm!!
