Suspension Coils - Where to Buy? What to Buy?
I have a 2012 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD and already the spring coils are starting to rust and pop off. I heard this is a known problem which stinks since it only has 80k miles on it. What are you guys replacing the OEM stock suspension coils with? I do not want to lower it. If anything I'd be willing to raise it a little but really I just want to replace stock with the same size coils.
Don't have an XC60 but I do have a Gen 1 S40 which are notorious for breaking springs - I've done 3 of 4 so far. I've used Tasca Parts to buy genuine Volvo replacements that match my year/model (various cars have "color coding" on the suspension so you want to use your VIN to make sure you get the exact replacement). Its also a best practice to do springs/shocks in pairs to keep handling balance and get an alignment after replacing parts. Generally replacements should run $125 or so per spring. If you want to consider OEM, check sites like FCP and IPD who will show which brands are OEM (I believe its Lesjofors who supplier Volvo)
