Help keep the rear of your Volvo steady and composed with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 313669. This rear unit fits the 2004-2011 Volvo S40, the 2005-2011 Volvo V50, and the 2008-2013 Volvo C30. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
A shock absorber controls spring motion by damping suspension movement. This helps keep the tires in contact with the road and the body steady over bumps. SACHS engineers its shocks and struts to help restore original handling dynamics while meeting its standards for safety, comfort, performance, and quality.
Signs a rear suspension shock absorber may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear end bottoming out or floating, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. If a worn shock is the cause, this unit replaces it. Replacing both rear shocks together is commonly recommended for balanced handling.
Is this 2008-2013 Volvo C30 shock absorber for the front or rear?
It is a rear shock absorber. It is cataloged for the rear position on the 2008-2013 Volvo C30; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Will this work as a shock absorber for the 2005-2011 Volvo V50?
Yes. It is listed for the rear position on the 2005-2011 Volvo V50. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
What does a shock absorber do?
It dampens spring and suspension movement. This helps control body motion and keep the tires in contact with the road over bumps and uneven pavement.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing rear shocks as a pair is commonly recommended so both sides damp evenly for balanced handling.
What signs suggest a rear shock may be worn?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, the rear bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms.
