S80 suggestions

Post by Mikey »

I'll be replacing my rear shocks in the coming weeks (Monroe just now getting the rear) and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions as to what else should be replaced along with the rear shocks as preventive maintenance?

Spring seats, if it has them. On 850s/70s its a high-wear part, and you get groaning noises when they wear out. I'd ask a parts guy from where ever you're getting your shocks.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
