Suspension springs for Volvo 900, S90/V90 (-1998)
24.01.2022
Finally available again: transverse leaf springs for Multilink ll with or without Nivomats.
There are no longer any rear springs available from the vehicle manufacturer for the Volvo 960 estate from 95 and S90/V90.
The transverse leaf spring of the Multilink-ll rear axle is an elaborately manufactured part made of a glass-fibre composite material, for which there have been no alternatives in the accessories trade until now.
Even these springs get tired after many kilometres, the vehicle becomes unpleasant to drive, especially when loaded, and is sensitive to wind. A sagging rear end is also unattractive to look at. Badly tired springs can damage the shock absorbers or Nivomats if the suspension travel is no longer limited. Then the bottom valves inside the shock absorbers or Nivomats are destroyed when they compress heavily.
We have now found an original equipment manufacturer who makes the springs for us in original quality. This will give the "Old Swede" back the stable driving characteristics with which it has thrilled us so much over many kilometres.
Makes possible conversion from Nivomat to normal shock absorbers
The version with spring codes 2 (sedan) and 3 (station wagon) are the springs for vehicles with normal shock absorbers. This means that it is now possible again to convert vehicles that were equipped with Nivomats ex works. A simple replacement of Nivomats with normal shock absorbers without spring replacement is not possible, the rear of the vehicle would hang down badly and the driving characteristics would be dangerous.
For the German market, the 960II and S90/V90 were only delivered with Nivomat. If they were already equipped with such a spring code 2 or 3 and normal shock absorbers ex works, these are other country versions, i.e. mostly re-imported vehicles.
The springs for your Volvo are now available in our shop under the numbers 1021744, 1021750 and 1021749.
