Not normal for a Volvo spring to break. Have the front struts and strut mounts already been replaced? The strut and spring will have to removed to replace the spring. If the struts and strut mounts have never been done they should be replaced too. They are overdue. That will obviously make the job more costly.

For example: Fcpeuro.com has a front spring for $81. You do need to replace both front springs together so $81• 2 = 162. A mechanic will mark up the price further as they want to make a profit on the parts as well as the labor. So expect more than $81 per spring. Don’t know the labor charge but I’m guessing 2-3 hours to do both sides. Pricier if struts and mounts also need replacing.
