Hi all:

If you have had your spring seat bushings replaced and they still make noise, there is a volvo peel and stick 1/8" rubber spacer that is supposed to be applied to the top of the spring seat to fill a gap between it and the bearing plate. It also cushions the spring seat to the bearing. It is apparently being left out at dealers and you wouldn't know it was there without looking at the tech diagram at the dealer. This part gets crushed paper thin after installation so you wouldn't know it was there, but it is essential. Volvo part number is 9157705. If you've had a spring seat failure, chances are, this part was left out.
