Not enough problems...shocks testing 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Tapsa on  Wed Feb 14 19:21 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hi,
I'm been wondering the same issue: shocks keep going on...
I test my shocks every year when I take my family to ski up north 1k km i.e 4 to 5 persons in, 8 to 10 pairs of skis (down hill & cross country) on the roof and all gears for a week or so in the back. And the car is amzingly stable on the road.

In addition the annual car inspection measures the shocks their way and I keep record of the measurement value to see any major change-but no.

The fact is I still have the set originally came with the car 9 years ago with 60k km on it. As I two years ago renewed the dust covers in the rear the local Volvo couldn't identify those nor sell me any and I used similar from Mazda.

So I don't know if those are original factory ones. Do admit I use the car as family combi rather than a sports wagon.
The 850 is propably running the original ones from the factory.
