@Turboboy:
Re: "I finally got around to looking at the ID plate and the two codes are "E' and "V" for Shock and Spring."
Might I suggest you double check your MARKED CODES of E & V, as the only reference to V is for a rear Anti-roll bar. Perhaps you have read one digit too far to the right? Check my PDF link above.
I have checked my Model 850 to 1997 microfiche and provide below the ONLY references to MARKED E and V, which correlate to Volvo OE part numbers, which might be superseded.
# 3546335-5 | Rear spring | STD 5DRS -1993 MARKED E
# 271832-8 | Shock absorber kit | MARKED E
# 9140203-2 | Anti-roll bar | MARKED V
My own notes: None of the above make reference to NIVOMAT, which other marked codes do make reference to. A shock absorber kit (which might or might not be Nivomat) includes the upper and lower mounting nuts and washer. I note you drive a V70 T5 Phase 1, so that will be lowered and stiffened suspension.
You really DO need your friendly official Volvo Parts person to check these for you - but only if you actually need to buy the parts. They will have access to cross-references and Classic Catalogues that I do not have.
Not sure I have been of much help.
Kind Regards, RB
