Suspension: 850: - Can't find 850R rear spring, help please

drox · Nov 6th, 2019, 17:00

As per the title - my 1996 850R (estate) failed the mot yesterday on a broken rear sping. FRF in Swansea and Arnold Clark in Inverness who were both very helpful say it looks like the part's been discontinued. I also spoke to pfs who suggested I could change all 4 springs to aftermarket to keep the ride height the same.

I have a part number - 914033. Does anyone know where I can track one or a pair of these down?

Any help/advice appreciated.

Cheers

I've had lots of stuff from parts for volvo, taking their Professional Parts Sweden stuff and not had any issues so far. But best to change both sides if one has gone, to get an even match.

Failing that would these guys be of use?

Thanks for that Paul. Just heading off to night shift so will check the link out later when I get a chance. Preferred option at the moment is to just replace the rear springs with standard R ones if I can find any.
