XC90 and 850 spring seats are exactly the same thing if you buy the Volvo part. Same part number, same part. It's been that way for about 5 years now.firestarterpro wrote:I'm gonna take the replacement, since it was effortless, and put some XC90 spring seats on there before I put them on my car.
I had a question, is it all XC90 spring seats or just the OEM? I hear they are better than the 850 yet still fit the same.
It is hardly effortless if you disassemble and reassemble the strut tower to put on a decent spring seat. It's the same effort as buying piece by piece. Anyway once you do, the next weak link to be exposed will be the strut mount, it will be interesting to know how long those last.
