Dampers.

Post by Myrtsi » Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:06 pm

Is there difference between model years 86-87 and 88-95 dampers? I want to buy koni yellows but the producter`s katalog says that there is no koni yellow dampers for year 86-87 volvo? Will the volvo 460 2.0i -94 koni sport dampers fit to volvo 480 1.7i -87? Help me please :?

I have not seen any diff types of shocks for the 480. I don't see any problem.

They'll fit, there are different volvo part numbers for various years of suspension, but as my dealer said, its all a load of bollocks really, they just updated the spec i expect.

I remember the slight difference was that the 86-87 ones, the brake pipe goes through a hole in the damper body, this was a pretty shit design since in order to remove the damper etc you had to disconnnect the brakes and then rebleed them, a year later they changed it so the brake pipe clipped into a slot instead.

Still wont make any difference.
