How to Lift an AWD P80 Volvo V70 Using Coilovers

[@adamnonis7022]

Great job. I was really happy with my setup too. Only thing I’d note is that washer above the bump stop, but below the spring seat, is MANDATORY. The load bearing part of the spring seat for the strut (not the spring) is wider than the shoulder on the strut. Same issue if you’re just assembling a strut the OE way. There’s a washer clipped onto the top of the OE bump stop and if you leave that out, the strut shaft can push out the metal insert in the top of the spring seat. Damaging the spring seat (and possibly the hood).

Thanks for the comment! I pinned it because you're totally right, and I made it sound like the washer is only needed for the bump stop. Definitely mandatory to keep everything together! I added it to the parts list in the description as well.
