I just had tires put on my 2004 S60 2.5T AWD. With 100K miles the person replacing the tires says I need new shocks. This seems odd to me. He offered to replace all four for the mear sum of $675. My 850's had up to 200K on them and the shocks were still good. If I do replace them, are there any recommendations for replacement? where would you buy them? Also how do I get to the top of the rear shocks? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ron

Just a tire store trying to make a few bucks???? Volvo usually has shocks that easily last 130K +. Does the nose of the car dive more than 1/2 inch at a rapid stop? Does the rear bounce more than once when pushed?
