Default The V90. Rear suspension question

Can someone advise me please!

Hi all.
My V90 rear seems to me to be very low.i.e on one side the clearance
from wheel arch to tyre is half an inch, the other side is about an
inch. I have Nivvomats. Do I need to replace both but I was wondering how difficult a job is it? I have never
done work on suspension but I have worked on engines so I do know one end of wrench from the other.
Is there anywhere a step by step guide for the V90 and also what kind of special equipment would I need that is not run of the mill.
I know for the early 900's it's not a hard or tricky job but what about the multi link Suspension volvo's.


Many thanks for any advice anyone can give.The year? 97!! .

I would recommend going to strutmasters.com and taking a look at the conversion kits. This converts you from air to powder coated, American made steel coil springs that are guaranteed to last the life of the car. The kit comes with detailed instructions including how to disarm the ride light. Everything you need will be in the kit. I posted the link below so you can take a look.

Good Luck!!!
