How to remove the front shock absorber from the strut on Volvo S80?

To remove the strut from the car, start with removing it and prising off the plastic cap, and slacken the strut mounting nut half a turn while holding the protruding piece of the piston rod with a Torx bit, without removing the nut at this stage. Next, fit the spring compressors to the coil springs, and tighten them until the load is removed from the spring seats. After this take off the piston nut, rubber washer and the special 'star' nut followed by the upper mounting, spring seat, spring, bump stop and gaiter. Once the strut assembly is fully disassembled, check all components for wear and damage or deformation and replace as needed. Check the shock absorber for fluid leakage and check the strut piston for pitting, test the operation of the shock absorber, moving the piston in full and small strokes, see if the resistance is smooth, continuous, if it is jerky, uneven operation, it needs to be renewed. If there are doubts about the condition of the coil spring, release the spring compressor gradually, observe whether there is distortion and cracking, and compare it with the new component for tension test, and replace it if damaged or distorted. Inspect all other components for damage or deterioration and renew any suspect components. If fitting a new shock absorber, hold it in the vertical position and pump the piston a few times to prime the shock. For reassembly, reverse the dismantling steps, taking care to fully compress the spring before fitting with the spring ends in the correct locations in upper and lower seats. Tighten 'star' nut, shock absorber piston retaining nut and strut mounting nuts to specifyed torque, Volvo tool No 999 5469 or a modified old socket to fit 'star' nut.

Volvo S80 Shock Absorber

The Volvo S80 Shock Absorber maintains the stability of the sedan by calming bumps and transforming road vibrations into harmless heat, meaning that passengers will experience less shake and the tires will remain on the ground to steer without being thrown off. In each Volvo S80, each Shock Absorber operates using coil springs containing a hydraulic piston that forces fluid through small passages whenever the wheel is lifted or lowered, so the action of the fluid flow can transform kinetic motion into thermal energy that is rapidly dispelled; this does not allow the body to bounce excessively after every pothole. The model in the early generations applied the common twin-tube design, which was characterized by its easy assembly and struck a balance between comfort and cost, but the subsequent trims featured gas-charged units that reduced aeration and enhanced handling. Performance versions introduced mono-tube ones, which have one larger cylinder that dissipates heat more quickly, can be installed in various positions, and provide more control in spirited driving. The common purpose of all the dampers across the range is to achieve the same goal, but Volvo kept developing them with features like position-sensitive or acceleration-sensitive valving, which allowed the suspension to become soft when passing over minor irregularities but firm when entering a corner. More recent products are adaptive magnetorheological units, which change fluid viscosity in milliseconds and give a plush ride feel and agile handling at the touch of a button. No matter the style, every Shock Absorber is a wear part that keeps the trademark composed feel that drivers want when driving a modern Volvo luxury sedan.

OEM parts are the only choice for top quality and real functionality. They pass strict checks, and they match Volvo's factory specs, so installation is easy. If you need new Shock Absorber and you want quality and fit. You will find both here. Our site has a wide range of OEM Volvo S80 parts. The prices are unbeatable, allowing you to get value for money.
