Front spring help

Tony500 · Sep 8th, 2023, 12:11

One spring is broke on the front my old mans car. It's a 2015 xc60 rdesign D5. I cannot find the correct spring and my vida isn't playing game so can't get a part number. The ones fitted have 2 orange marks and the ones online that look to be a fit has a yellow and orange marks. Looking to get a pair as its sods law one gets changed and the other let's go a month later.

Thanks

Can’t help with the part number but in my experience you must replace the top bearing as well. If not it will fail in the near future and you will need to do the job all over again. As always genuine Volvo are best.

I did this on mine and the new bearing on the off side failed within 8 months and was replaced under parts warranty but ny service dealer.

Hi Tony,
Did you manage to get the front springs sorted. I have the same problem, see my earlier post. I have not changed mine yet as one broke on the end tail where it sits in the mounting and not causing an issue yet. Job to do when weather gets a bit warmer. I was looking at the Kilen 26061. and it appears there are two different lengths of springs, one at 394mm and one at 369mm. So I am presuming the R-Design has the shorter ones?
