Hi.
If you Google " 2006 Volvo s60 rear spring replacement " and tap the link of
sdbhost .com it should take you to a very good write-up with clear pictures.
I used this guide to change rear springs on a V70. I used a pair of external spring compressors and a pair of spring clips . It was a real b***ache and took about 3 times longer but can be done.
Internal compressors definitely next time.
Have you got all the tooling for these jobs ? You will need a special holding tool to change the inner tie-rods.
The upper front spring bearings are best if OE Volvo . The uprated xc90 ones are the same as my T5 and are the way to go if they`ll fit your car.
Check out Skandix .com . You can look up all parts by VIN No. They should have all you need . Shipping can be pricey but if it`s a larger order can be cost affective.
Best to identify what springs / shocks are already fitted . Pattern parts can be cheaper but give a harder/softer ride.
