Building struts and shock assemblies for 2013 S60 from scratch
Hi, new here. I need to replace both struts and shocks on my 2013 S60 AWD. Some parts need to be replaced and since the car has 105K and needs new tires, I figured it is best to just get new legs all around.
The problem is that there are no quick strut assemblies which is really annoying. I do not want monroes and only volvo genuine or Sachs. no Bielstein because I beleive there are too hard.
So I looked at building my own. Even that is hard because Volvo seems to have myriad of struts and springs for the same car without clear explaination. I cannot even find OEM springs easily online. I will have to call a specialist on monday for that.
Meanwhile here is the list of parts I have so far for a full ground up struts and shocks rebuild front and rear:
Description Quantity
139622? Sachs Front Right Strut - P3 S60 1
139623? Sachs Front Left Strut - P3 S60 1
235240 Volvo Upper Spring Isolator Damper Ring - P3 2
139396 Volvo Front Strut Coil Spring Lower Isolator Ring - P3 2
120279 Volvo Front Strut Dust Boot Protecting - P1 P3 2
? Volvo COIL SPRING - FRONT 2
120815 Volvo Upper Spring Seat Strut Mount Bearing - P3 S60 2
120814 Volvo Upper Strut Mount Plate - P3 2
139751 Sachs Rear Shock - P3 S60 2
139395 Volvo Rear Shock Mount - P3 2
Could you guys tell me if I miss anything? thks
