360 Shock Absorbers

Post by willowdog »

Hi

Is there a list somewhere of part #'s for shocks that fit 360 's??

I have searched and the only thing I can find is the Spax G076 for the rear.

I dont know if I want to sink that much cash into the rear considering I need fronts too. Also, the local part shops/mechanics give dumb enough looks when you say you have a Volvo 360 ("is that one of those old wagon's or something?") let alone having a clue as to parts....

I was thinking of Monroe's or the like, unless there's a better option - Mainly highway driving on fairly coarse roads with a little town useage. Daily driver doing about 400 k's a week.

If I've been a dumbass and missed a post or something, feel free to flame me :oops:

Thanks

Not sure there is a list of numbers anywhere, but can heartily recommend Monroes (they do exist for the rears!) I stuffed a pair on my spare parts car over the summer (I thought I needed to use it for towing) Since my daily through it's engine, I've bought the spares car into use, and the back end is amazing, really really tight.

Problem is, I've thrown the boxes for the Monroes away, I'll look on the damper itself and see if there is a number, they appear on UK ebay quite a bit ( or used to, havn't looked lately) so you might get a part number there, wouldn't want to ship from there though!

You need to copy-paste address as some reason it does not go to link...

Take up numbers of shock that you would like, there is 3 different levels available.

Then go here:
