Self Levelling Rear Suspension?

[RGM200]

Afternoon all,

I have a V70 T5 1998 R reg on 134,000 and need to change the suspension as it is completely shot but how do I know or is there an easy way to tell if I have self levelling suspension?

Also whilst on the subject wouold you bother uprating the shocks and/or springs and if so any recommendations?

Many thanks

Rob

hello rob-

if you have nivomat self levelling suspension the rear shock absorbers are about 4-5 inches in diameter with a large rubbers bellows over half of the length.

if they are standard , they are only 2-3 inches in diameter with no rubber bellows.

regards, jamie

I have a set of nivomats currently on ebay should you need a set. The auction ends tonight.

Here's a link, you'll be able to see what shocks you have by looking through the rear springs with a torch.
