My mechanic says they're both shot. I've done a little reading on the Nivomat self-pumper and it's pretty interesting engineering. Chrysler put them on the Town and Country minivan and GMC on the Suburban.

What I'm curious about is why someone hasn't found a way to convert FWD and AWD cars.

IPD says there is no way a conventional shock and spring could fit. That doesn't make sense. I have a V70 with conventional shocks and springs and that model has pumpers as an option. Maybe the drive axle to the individual rear wheel takes up space needed for the conventional shock and spring.

They're not leaking. How can I verify both failed.

(If we devise a solution to fitting conventional shocks I'll split the money with you. You can retire to International Falls, or Hibbing, someplace nice.)
