The other way to check front spring seat is to try turning the large bolt over the strut clockwise. Use a pair of channel lock pliers or some tool large enough. If the bolt turns easily and does not want to return to the original position, the rubber is compromised.

The problem then becomes two fold. Replacing the spring seat requires the strut to be removed and the spring to be removed also. The same procedure as in replacing the shock. So, if your shocks need replacing, now is the time to replace them.

Always replace the spring seat with the XC90 version as it is more robust and will last longer:
