Rear shocks
#2
do you have FWD or AWD? Why are you looking to replace the shocks? ie do you see oil leaking, do they have high mileage, are you hearing noises going over speed bumps etc or are you just looking for an upgrade? Do you have a standard suspension or self leveling (ie Nivomat) or 4C?

My own experience is the hardest part of the job is moving the trunk liner to gain access to the top nuts! As to replacing the shock mount, unless you have noises the old ones are probably good but on your model they are more expensive than on my S40 or 850 where I just replaced all the parts. On your model you have a spring insulator ( $5), spring seat ($12), the mount (aka anchor) ($85), shock ($95) and bump stop ($15). (Genuine Volvo pricing per Tasca Parts)
