Bouncy, rough, noisy, and uncertain. If any of these words describe the way your car drives, your struts might just be toast. Strut replacement can be a pretty involved job, and in some cases a dangerous one if you don’t have the correct tools to safely compress coil springs. Sachs has recently developed Quick Struts, which makes strut replacement safe and shaves time off of a typical installation.
What sets a Quick Strut apart from an ordinary strut? Sachs Quick Struts are complete strut assemblies ready to go into your vehicle – there’s no need to remove or compress springs, change spring seats, or install strut bearings. Install the Quick Strut as a completely new unit, and enjoy the benefits of new springs and struts while saving a ton of time.
Also, the Sachs Quick Strut is comprised of all OE components meaning that its made of of the same exact components that Volvo used when your car was built new at the factory.
For demonstration purposes, we’re using a 2004 Volvo S60, and because we won’t sell you anything we wouldn’t install on our own cars, the components are backed by our Lifetime Replacement Guarantee.

Nifty car !
Great how-to! I just replaced the sway bar links (purchased at FCP Euro, of course!) and will do this replacement when mine need it!
Torque specs?
Just used your video to replace the ignition coils on my 03 XC-70. Going to attempt to do all four struts tomorrow with this video. Thanks for the great step by step videos. Super helpful.
I have a 2009 volvo s60 that vibrates like crazy while going 50- 75 mph could it be the struts ? Replaced control arms ball joints and CV axles both sides engine mounts upper and the 3 bottom ones still bad vibration and got new tires and alignment still fell vibrations bad . Can anybody help .
Thanks
hello great video. if u can help me, what was the name of the part that u got and the number of that part ( Volvo Quick Strut Assembly – Sachs SAC-033079 ) ( https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-quick-strut-assembly-xc70-sachs-sac-033085 ) what is the best one to get from the site ?
Literally did not happen like this , wouldn’t recommend this method.
You’ll pay triple the price for that
just changed these yesterday. thanks for the vid the job 1000 times easier.
If anyone else is curious about torque specs I found those, as well as the official workshop manual for a 2006 model (if at all necessary after the video):

Im lookin for a comfortable suspension for a smooth ride that will fit a 2006 volvo s60 i got over train tracks everyday for work n its very hard n stiff when i go over them
Is it the same for a 2013 xc60?
it would have bin REALLY HELPFULL if you said all of the torque specs for every bolt
How much does it cost for a mechanic to do this?
Easy thanx again!
Yall make it all look so easy
I love how straight forward these videos are
Just ordered my set. Front only. Will do the back once I have more cash. Outside of that. Is there a video on the transmission slipping? I saw a video to replace a $55 part some transmission sensor that went bad. I am hoping it is this. Going to have it plugged to a machine to get the error codes and hope to fix it. Once that is done. Then I can finally work on the catalytic converter
Can you give torque specs for the bolts?
Stupid man, does not use hearing protection.
Is this the same process for a 2008 s60? Thanks
wow that car hasnt seen salt before
Is it necessary after strut removal and replacement to have the car aligned? I’ve heard conflicting answers.
Literally out of the millions of videos I watched you are far from even the best you are the expert at teaching somebody how to do something correctly no bulshit no 20 minutes of talking about a fucking boat that they couldn't find her some screw that goes somewhere in like thank you so much for just being simple and fixing a problem. Thank you
My shock seems to be much lower than the hub, I can't get the wishbone to go low enough to get bolts in
Got new wishbones
