Self levelling suspension weeping
I have 2012 xc60 d5 awd and have been told I have self levelling suspension with the rear left side weeping.
Cost appears to be £470 for the suspension alone not fitted. Is it essential to replace both at same time bringing cost upto £1000. Regarding the price it’s from a main dealer. Any idea if there’s an after market version. My son can fit it so no need to worry about labour. Thanks in advance. |

It will be on its way out. It's a nivomat shocker. An MOT failure. Just bought one. See my very recent thread about five lines down from this one. Easy to change. But expensive new. I believe that not all xc60's have self leveling nivomats. These where fitted when a factory fitted towbar was installed.
Sachs/ Volvo part number 89 4104 000 379 or 31302604, same part. Have a good look around. I only changed the leaking shocker and all seems fine. At the moment I cannot see any on ebay. there are some second hand xc90 ones BUT they ain't the same as what's on an xc60. I am told you can buy a conversion kit from Volvo that includes 2 new nivomat shockers and 2 new softer springs for around £500!! Also you can buy another kit, which includes a stronger Pair of rear springs and a more standard Volvo shock that just fine. The kit is around £180 on eBay. Depends on your towing needs etc.check it out on google. Regards Last edited by Adrian B; May 11th, 2021 at 19:50. |
