Re: Harsh shocks 850 1993

While I have not yet replaced the shocks on my 855 at 76K miles, I have had experience with Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks that I installed on my 91 Ford Explorer. There were installed at the 38K mile point both front and rear. A great improvement over the stock shocks. With the Ford I was experiencing a vibration after going through a road bump that was gone with the Monroe's. I had to replace the front shocks at the 73K mile point because they become very bouncy - rears were ok. The shocks were replaced for free since I had a lifetime warranty. Don't know how this will be with a Volvo, but based on my experience with Monroe Sensa-Tracs I'd give them a try. There a great blend between ride comfort and handling - Good Luck.
