What to replace with shocks and struts? S80 2016

posted by  someone claiming to be Tim on  Tue Sep 7 10:40 CST 2021 [RELATED]

I have close to 100,000 miles on my S80. I am thinking about replacing all of the shocks and struts to renew the suspension. In addition to the shocks and struts, are there other suspension parts that would be smart to replace at the same time?

    If your S80 nose dives more than 1 inch when coming to an abrupt stop, then it is time to replace the front struts.

    If the rear bounces after going over. speed bump, then replace the rear shocks.

    Keeping it running is better than buying new

    Front struts mounts. Rear shock or strut mounts if your car has rear struts. I am not familiar with it. 100k seems early to me. Has the ride or handling deteriorated?
