Hi my 850se has a tow bar fitted and i think pump up rear shocks with an airline conector in the boot the label advises min 14psi max 80psi ihave tried this on various settings in between 14/80psi it does not seem to alter the ride quality at all.However the rear of the car sounds bangy it clunks and bangs away everyone i have spoken to blames the air shocks any advise on how i may cure this it appears all is well with bushes and so on.It really is clunky.
THANKS PETER |

I suspect you need new shocks. You can fit self leveling shocks, Eurocarparts do them, German & Swedish to I presume.

Hi Peter,
Yep, that sounds like the back shocks have gone. While you are at it replace the rubber mounts as these are know to fail also, they were under-engineered. I personally purchased all mine from Volvo but europarts do both they will have to order them in i guess, you'll probally same a few bob. I would though go to Volvo and get new mounting nuts for the shocks as they are a bugger to get off when old like mine were after 8 years ! mark.
