Sachs 31255534 Alternative
Looking to change both rear shocks due to one leaking and can hear it knock slightly when going over little bumps.
I can’t find an alternative for the Sachs 31255534 that’s fitted to my 09 v70 redesign. Are mine self levelling or what? What can I swap them over to without paying almost £350 a side from Volvo? Thanks

Any decent motor factors will advise of alternatives if there are any . Steer clear of the halfrauds and similar .

I don't know but as said a decent car factor should be able to get correct spec just by giving them you reg . Failing that contact you local main dealer and give them the Vin no and they will be able to give you correct spec.

I’ve phoned ecp and other factors and they all say my car wasn’t fitted it’s self leveling suspension, I then phoned Volvo and he wasn’t sure! I gave him the part number he told me it was fitted with self leveling.
£452.50 for a shock. There is an option to do a conversion but will need two normal shocks and replace the springs.

That might be cheaper . but you will have to check the headlamp adjustment . Does your car have headlight adjuster on the dash or self adjusting HID headlamps ? If it does then changing to normal shocks will be fine . If it doesn't then headlamp adjustment will have to be fitted as beams will rise and dazzle oncoming cars when a load is carried.
