suspension problem HELP !!!!!

tonymcb · Nov 16th, 2007, 14:54

hi have recently bought a v40 1.8 SE GDI 2001 model with all the bells and whistles.

its been previously an insurance write off cat c, and have just noticed it has 2 different suspension stuts on the car

now the car has a sports upgrade,( 16 inch alloys etc.) could one of you volvo boffins with vidas quote me the part numbers for each leg so that i can buy and change the right leg for the right side hope you understand this

do i have to get the same suspension legs off the same car or are they universal, meaning is it possible to take them off a 2 litre motor of the same year and still fit my 1.8 gdi motor.

this will account for the annoying rattle i have on the left hand side of car

hope to hear from you soon as you always do !!!!!

cheers Tony

I can't tell you the part numbers, but here's some Volvo sport shock absorbers and springs for sale:
