General: Anyone here changed the rear springs before?

[Daim]

Hi!

I want to do a little work to my rear springs on my C30 and wanted to ask, if anyone has changed them or removed and refitted them yet?

Is it an easy job? I've looked at the Volvo instructions and it looks rather easy, but is it really?

Thanks

Damien

Is that your S40? If so, why on earth did you undo the inside screw for? Volvo says to do the one towards the wheel...!?

But looks as simple as described by Volvo...

Set up on the C30 is the same

Thanks!

no its one that was on youtube i found ages ago when i was going to lower my 2.0d but sold it instead, now i have my t5 i wanna get that done

Hehe... Okay Then the question isn't valid

When I do mine, I'd do a description too With pictures etc.

its seems easy for the rear i just couldnt get the strut ends out at the front where they go into the hub area (im not very car minded with names of what they are ha ha )

Hmm. Yu are still talking about the rear - I hope

That shouldn't be that awkward. The only "special tool" is a jack, but that isn't needed - so I guess that it should be "plug and play".

I'll only be touching the rear - as a btw

no i was on about when i tried to do the front it was a little bit of a pain the rear looked simple is ha ha

Surely that could be done easier by just compressing the spring.

Volvo says not to compress the spring... The problem is probably not being able to the spring in the correct position to compress it.
