Did you buy them from Volvo?

Did you tell them they were for an AWD car?

I believe they are supposed to be Heavier for the AWD because AWD has indipendant rear suspension.

went to two different suppliers i use for auto bits, both have given me the wrong part . after further investigation have found out that they are sachs shocks. and they were never sold in the uk for this model. have been to local volvo dealership pinnings and they say i will have to take chasis nos ect to them to find correct part and am looking at £250 each + vat .
