Product Information
Product Description
Some 700 and 900 series Volvos came from the factory with a self leveling rear suspension system called Nivomat. It is a fully self contained system that has no external parts like air compressors/lines/etc. The system uses special shocks with matching springs. It's a cool system when it all works right but eventually, things wear out and fail. When Nivomat shocks fail they stop being able to properly support the car. The springs used on Nivomat cars are much softer than what was used on "standard" rear suspension versions. That means that when your Nivomats fail the rear end of the car starts to sag. As the shocks wear out more the rear end just sags more and more.
If your Volvo has failed or failing Nivomats you have two options. First is to replace the Nivomat shocks and retain the self leveling function. The downside of this option is Nivomats are an expensive damper. The other option is to replace both the Nivomat rear shocks and the springs with the "standard" version rear suspension and ditch the self leveling function. The upside of this is much more affordable replacement parts.
This kit includes 2 Sachs (OEM shock manufacturer for Volvo) rear shocks and a pair of our IPD overload springs. Perfect for converting your Nivomat equipped Volvo wagon to a conventional shock and spring setup.

Policies & Warranty
A Core Charge is a refundable deposit added to the price of a product by a manufacturer as a bounty to encourage the return of rebuildable cores.
Cores must be complete (mostly assembled and not missing parts) to qualify for refund.
Cores must be complete returned in the manufacturer's box with part number markings to qualify for refund. Typically, the core is returned in the box that contained the replacement product.
Core return and any shipping associated with it is the customer's responsibility.
Available to Order means the item is readily available from one or more supplier warehouses and should be available to ship within a timely manner (unless otherwise noted on the product listing.)
Products from major brand names like Volvo Genuine, Bosch, Mahle, Aisin, etc. are almost always in stock in the manufacturer’s domestic warehouse. These suppliers have good fill rates, but even if they are out of stock, we may be able to source it from a variety of alternative source. We are at the most 10 days away from all those warehouses, usually much less. Does that mean we will always have your product available within that window? Honestly, no. There are many factors that can delay things by a few days but we’ll do everything we can to fulfill your order in a timely manner.
