Thank you for that

Hey,
Great vídeo, how much newtons for the screw under the spring? It's the only one you didn't say 😅

[@SMFBisme]

Thanks for the video. How is the ride height after conversion? I need to replace the rear suspension in my 98 V70R and think converting will be a good deal cheaper than paying 340 dollars or so for each individual nivomat sbock. what springs and shocks did you go with, do you have part numbers?

[@vahekmoradian4971]

If you find out that information could you please send it to me as well I have the same issue thank you

Tof! Ik moet dit ook bij mijn 2000 V70 classic 2.4 met 373556 km op de teller doen. Waar heb je de extra onderdelen gehaald zoals die schotels en bumpstops?

[@kvcuijck]

Het meeste had ik bij Winparts vandaan. Schotels heb ik niet vervangen, had ik achteraf beter wel mee kunnen nemen. Deze zijn uiteraard prima bij de dealer verkrijgbaar of specialisten als Skandix, Estateservices, Nordicar, Scandcar etc.. Het loont om even te zoeken. Heb zelf een voorkeur voor origineel Volvo en dat is niet altijd (veel) duurder dan goede/OEM kwaliteit aftermarket. Succes en veel plezier met de klus!

In Alberta, the adjustable spanner can also be referred to as a "Thumb wrench".

[@clearwater3d]

I just call it the any size wrench. I believe its real name is a crescent wrench. From Sask XD

[@ChristopheLeTemplier]

Thank you very much for this usefull tutorial ! Can you please give the reference numbers for the standard shocks and springs and shock absorbers please ? Thank you by advance ! I have a Volvo 855 GLT Wagon

I put some part numbers in the description.

Wij zouden graag de nivomats onder de auto zetten ipv de standaard dempers. Hebben we dan ook speciale schotels nodig?

[@kvcuijck]

Behalve de schokbrekers/veren heb je volgens mij alleen andere veerpoot lagers nodig (zie 4:28). De veerpoot lagers van de Nivomats zijn dikker/steviger. Logisch ook, omdat de schokbreker/nivomat meer gewicht draagt icm de (dunnere) nivomat veer. Bij een standaard onderstel is dat net andersom. De schotels (zie 17:39) had ik achteraf gezien eigenlijk willen vervangen en zover ik weet is dat onderdeel gelijk bij nivomat/standaard setup. Succes met de conversie!

My bump stop has come off but my suspension is brand new does the bump stop just pop back into place or I have to take whole thing out

[@kvcuijck]

I don't think it just pops back into place. Maybe it wasn't seated correctly in the first place? It was a bit of a fiddle putting the yellow bumpstop onto that black/plastic/abs part. Maybe it can be done without removing the springs or maybe just without the shocks as I think this gives you a bit more clearance/space between the coils of the spring. For sure on most used cars those bumpstops float around in the center of the spring or are completely missing....

[@Vladislav.Andrievskii]

Could you please add part numbers.
Especially for coil springs

I put some part numbers in the description.
