If Nivomats, they either work OK or they leak. All the advice I have had from specialists is that you don’t need to replace them in pairs if you’re keeping them (ie keeping Nivomats on). I have Nivo’s on my XC70. You have three choices with Nivomats. New are about £500 each. Secondhand are about £75 to £100 each. A conversion kit is about £300 for the correct conventional dampers and matching springs for both sides. The Nivomat is a combination spring and damper in one unit with a ‘helper’ spring around it. You can’t simply fit a regular damper without the correct spring, the back of the car will sag.
If you have 4C suspension, you can fit the Monroe dampers mentioned above.
If you have Nivomats, I have a spare secondhand one you can have for the £75 it cost me.
