1994 940T Wagon- Rear Spring Help

Hello All,

I recently purchased a super clean '94 940 Turbo wagon with only 110k miles. Fixing little things here and there but the main thing that bothered me was the rear end sagging a little. After doing a lot of research I decided to replace the rear springs, shocks and trailing arm bushings. Unfortunately, this actually lowered the rear of the wagon 3-4 more inches so now it has an awful backward leaning stance (almost like a lowrider).

My wagon is a non-nivomat car with live axle setup and the H suspension code on the build plate under the hood.
I installed Lesjofors 6819405 HD springs from FCP Euro and they have confirmed this is supposed to be the correct part based on my VIN#.

Additional research online shows alternate part numbers like Lesjofors 307665/Part# 4295804 and also Lesjofors W0133-066-0300-LES for heavy duty rear wagon springs.

Can anyone assist with helping me find the correct spring that will level out my wagon? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Brandon

Thanks for the response. That part number you have is the equivalent of Volvo OE number 1273977 which is the rear spring for 940 sedans. I believe the sedan spring is about an inch shorter. There are so many suspension combination for these cars it's crazy. I used to have a 92 740 turbo wagon and replacing the springs with the HD wagon ones fixed the sag and raised it a few inches so I don't understand what's going on with my 940.
