Replacing Shock Absorber/Strut/Top bearing Volvo S60/V70/S80/XC70/XC90

In this video, I am replacing the front shock absorber on a 2006 V70. It is the same job for doing just the top bearing or mount. Only special tool you need is a spring compressor. Compressing springs can be dangerous so wear proper safety gear and be careful. One side will take anywhere between 30min to 1,5h depending on your experience and also how well things come off.

Good job man, it was pleasure to watch, keep it up.

Why not replace the spring also, looks like an MOT fail to me due to corrosion.

Its thesame problem as my S60 I just get the parts I hope I can to it, It look easy a little question how about alignment of the wheel? It should be torch 45 digree and 90 digree. That what they said.

Any joy with the lift kit for xc90! The spring perch is such a restriction on these platforms!! 😢

Some body needs to learn how to hose off the under carriage and wheel wells every so often. My s80 looks as new under by just an spray down removing all that dirt grime. WAY easier to service.
