Unity brand shock absorber - Advise

Turbo_Boss · Post by **Turbo_Boss** » 09 Sep 2016, 09:46

Hello Guys

I have a 2008 XC90 3.2AWD

One of my front shock absorber is leaking oil so I have to replace them.

I was checking on ebay

I found the Bilstein 22-170729 and Sachs 314125 for around US$ 120.oo each one. These are only the strut along and I need to buy separately Front Shock Strut Mounts bearing Plate, coil Spring Seat.

I also find the UNITY 11485A/11486A “complete assembly” that’s comes fully assembled with all the parts ready to install for US$ 267.50

Have any of you has installed this UNITY brand?

What’s your advise

THX

Isaac

Did you end up with the unity struts? I have seen much opinion with no actual info on the struts . Hoping to find someone that has ACTUALLY installed and driven on them.

Hello,

Nope, I didn't buy them. I am going with SACHS

Don't touch anything else but Sachs when it comes to suspension parts for Volvo, or you'll be doing the job again in 6 months.
Try asking these guys if they have something for the XC90

Actually Sachs or Bilstein.

Bilstein has 2 flavors: Touring (close to stock) and HD (firm ride).

Whatever you do, don’t buy a car with a high end suspension on it or you will be selling organs for the rest of your cars soon

Thanks for nothing, Evan in NJ
