Default Front Strut Replacement

Hello All!

I need to replace the front struts on my 08 XC90 and would like to know if i need to replace the spring as well? or is it enough to replace the shock absorber and the mounts?

I appreciate the help!

Usually just the struts and the spring seats for good measure - the spring seats break, and you have them off anyway to replace the strut. Some northern climate cause spring failure - they rust out and break - so spring replacement depends on their condition and what part of the world you live in.
