Nivomat Question

heyskull · Jun 7th, 2012, 07:34

I had nivomat rear suspension on my live axle 1992 940 estate.
I have been offered some nivomats out of a independent axle 1992 960 saloon.
Will these fit my car?

Thanks

I believe but cannot guarantee that the 960 IRS nivos are a larger outside diameter and it is pot luck whether they will fit or not. There are also some that fit the other way up (bellows at top) and I think those will not go on to the lower mounts unless you modify the subframe.

The nivo's from IRS cars have a different bottom mount.

You'd have to push that out and put a new bush in as the live axle just uses a bolt through as you know.
