XC60 - Load Compensator
Does anyone have any information, or experience, of a load compensator on a XC60 D5 (not R Design) that's going to be used to tow a caravan? Thanks in advance.

If you mean Volvo's Load Compensating Rear Suspension I have it on my MY2014 car and they have been specified on all my previous Volvos where it wasn't standard. There is an initial rear suspension drop when the caravan is hitched on and then as you drive away they "pump up" to return the car's ride height. When unhitched, the car's rear rises and then returns to standard when driven solo.
They work fine but cost a fortune if need to replace. HTH
