Front Upper Spring Seat and Rear Shock Upper Body Mounts

Volvos commonly develop a clunk in the front end that is caused be worn out upper spring seats. These noises can come from the rear spring seats as well. For the front we offer Volvo’s improved front spring seat that was factory equipment for 1997 and later models. Failure on worn factory units can be accelerated with the addition of performance parts like springs, sway bars, and struts. We recommend replaceing the upper spring seats whenever the struts are replaced as part of regular maintenance. The expense is minimal in comparison to having to do the job over again later. As for the rear, take a look at the bump stop retaining pin before you condemn the shock mount. The pin that holds the stop in place can break and allow the stop to rattle around. As for the shock mount it will wear out over time which can be seen as torn rubber or cracks.

Eibach Springs

The main difference between TME springs and our Eibach applications is that the Eibachs are dual rate. Eibach Pro-Kit springs utilize a dual rate progressive design to be as soft as possible while still being as firm as possible. The smooth, softer initial characteristic improves traction and provides comfortable cruising while the sportier and firmer final rate reduces body roll and is more responsive under cornering, braking and accelerating. Eibach springs provide exceptional handling and precise vehicle responsiveness and stability with minimal effect to the ride quality.

Sport Springs by TME SwedenSport springs, or lowering springs as they are often called improve the handling by lowering the center of gravity and reducing body movement with an increased spring rate (stiffer.) Sport springs also increase firmness more than any other component, so keep these attributes in mind when considering this upgrade. The other use of sport springs is to attain a low aggressive look that sets your car apart from the masses with a sporty low profile. ipd sport springs will lower your Volvo approximately 1 to 1-1/4” (25mm) and the spring rate is increased approximately 10%-20%.
