01 volvo s60 t5 rear end sag

Post by hmarkhierro »

Hello i bought my volvo s60 a year ago, when I bought it my rear end sagged really low. Even though there is no one in the car. So I ordered new struts, and shocks, and replaced them. And it did not make a difference, the car is still very low. My tires are wearing out in the inner edge, and I dont know what else to replace?

I think you need a new pair of rear coil springs and a spring compressor to remove the old pair and install a new pair. Hope it helps...

Maybe prev. owner replaced the front coil springs, so the rear ones are too soft? Since the absorbers are new, there's no much other possibilities (note that even the absorbers will have an effect on car height)

Inner edge wear= bad toe (geometry)

Maybe you need nivomat (self leveling) shocks. I know they come on some wagons but not sure about S60.
