| 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. | For 850, S70, V70 (1993-2000) / C70 1998-2005 | | | | | | | | A.

Front Strut Spring Compressor Tools These affordable spring compressor tools make the job of placing springs and struts an easy-to-do job for the avid do-it-yourselfer. A pair of compressors work together to compress the McPherson strut spring enough to remove the spring or replace the strut insert. It grabs four of the coils, locks onto them with the safety locks and when evenly tightened releases pressure to the top plate of the strut assembly. High quality acme threaded rod and forged construction intended for repetitive use. Broad spring contact with latches to lock in place.

Warning: Most commonly available spring compressors are designed for a maximum spring diameter of 6” and are not large enough to safely compress Volvos large diameter springs. If you are considering a cheaper alternative to our compressor, read the fine print to make sure that they are compatible as most aren’t.
IMPORTANT: Coil springs under tension/compression have incredible amounts of potential energy so extreme caution should be taken when working with a compressed coil spring. Be sure to aim the strut assembly away from you or others while performing any service. |
| Strut Nut Spanner Tool  When replacing struts or springs on Volvo front wheel drive models (except 40 series), you will encounter an unusual cross shaped safety fastener that is difficult to remove without the correct tool. We now have a tool built specifically for the job. Our strut nut spanner safely engages the fastener for quick and safe removal and installation.
Our strut nut spanner works on the following models: - 1993-1997 850
- 1998-2000 S70 & V70
- 2001-2007 V70 & XC70
