XC90 Sport shock absorbers

AISand · Jan 31st, 2019, 11:16

Hi guys, sorry for the english google translator. I am owner of a XC90 2.4 D5 185 HP AWD Sport 11/2006 with 190000 Km, the time has come to replace the shock absorbers, for the moment only the front ones since the rear nivomat still seem efficient.
The point is this: I can not figure out what the exact code of the 'front shock absorber, my original as the label is Sachs 30635789A that seems no longer produced, some spare parts tell me that should be replaced with OEM 31200416,
others with OEM 31200414, others with Sachs 314125.
Now I'm very confused and I do not know what to do,
certainly the Sport version mounts shock absorbers different from the others.
Some of you can tell Vida that I could check the exact reference number, which replaces the original (Sachs 30635789A) if you need any data on the car I can give them.
What other parts is it advisable to change together with the shock absorbers?
Thank you so much

I'm not familiar with the Sport model, is it what is also/now called "R Design"

I assume it has lowered/stiffer/more damped suspension?

Here is some info which may help...

I would be tempted to go to my local Volvo dealer and ask them for the correct part numbers for the struts so you can then find a direct after-market replacement (assuming that's what you want...)

Cheers

Thanks Dave, you R-Design is the same, they mount the same shock absorbers and same set-up,
I think R-Design has the new codes on the shock absorbers,
maybe a Xc90 D5 owner could check on his label over the shock absorbers, it is visible without dismounting .

Thank you

SwissXC90 has an R Design and is a very helpful and well informed guy.

I'm sure, when he sees this, he will comment

Cheers

Had a look, cannot see the part numbers with my Winter wheels on. Sorry. Try looking in VIDA....

According to VIDA, my MY2009 XC90 has

(oops, wrong shock)

VIDA shows 2 x Nivomats for my car:

Shock absorber, nivomat 2.00 30683451
MARKED 26
See product sign for marking.

Shock absorber, nivomat 2.00 30635776
MARKED 48
See product sign for marking.

According to VIDA, my MY2009 XC90 has

31329768
Shock absorber
MARKED 25, 58
See product sign for marking.

Which is Nivomat shock

unfortunately I do not have VIDA, the code "31329768"
refers to the back, I attach the photos of my numbers.
Where can I see the sign for the marking?
