Nivomat Conversion Kits Saggy Rear End?
All 760 models, 780 and 940 SE sedans 1983 to 1994 are equipped with a self leveling independent rear suspension known as the Nivomat system. This system uses a special shock and spring combination to maintain ride height even when the car is fully loaded. When the shocks fail, the rear of the car will begin to sag noticeably even when it is unloaded. Nivomat shocks are over $390 each from the dealer, so we have developed this economical kit that converts the rear suspension to a conventional shock-and-spring set-up.
Our conversion kit with specially modified shocks and custom springs is less than the cost of a single Nivomat from your dealer and our kits will provide better handling and ride quality. These shocks also have a lifetime warranty compared with only one year on Nivomats purchased from your dealer. Kits include two specially built shocks and springs for mounting in the stock locations with no need for modification. Professional installation recommended as the springs in the independent rear suspension can be difficult to remove. This kit could save you over $500.00 compared with the cost of two new Nivomat shocks from your dealer.

Did this conversion to my 94' 960 sedan in '05. Really helped the saggy rear end problem! Somewhat difficult to do yourself but not impossible. Just take your time. Kit was well worth the money though, as the Nivomat replacement shocks from the dealer are more than the kit itself. I did just check the height from the top of tire to the bottom of fender and I'm about 3/4" taller on one side of the rear. Not sure if thats the springs wearing out after 3 years or another problem. But very satisfied anyway
