Product Description
Volvo models with 4C suspension system use purpose built shocks and struts. These damping units are made by Monroe for Volvo and distributed through the Volvo parts network at pretty lofty pricing. The dampers each contain an electronic valve which changes the rate of the shock at the request of the vehicle network. While this system was pretty advanced for the day, it is becoming more challenging for customers to source reasonably priced replacement wear components, even for collectible vehicles like the R series. IPD is offering units built by Monroe in Europe, avoiding the normal dealership network mark-up, while maintaining OE quality and function.
Remember that suspension error codes stored in the network of your car can interfere with the function of more than just the shocks. With IPDs help you can afford to replace your tired OE installed units to revitalize the ride quality in your Swedish Touring car.
