Driverside Rear Suspension work V70-XC70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Sun Aug 30 12:04 CST 2015 [RELATED]

I figured with 235k on the vehicle it would be best to replace all of the stuff anyways. Here is what I purchased to do the job complete.

9157321 SUPPORT PLATE, LEFT
9157320 BUSHING, LEFT
985909 LOCK NUT, LEFT
9461883 SPRING, LEFT
9169378 SPRING SEAT, LEFT
9475852 BUMPER, LEFT

And got a Nivomat from Erie Volvo as well.

The Nivomat that is there leaked all over the lower bolts, so they are well lubricated to come off now.

Am I going to need a spring compressor for replacing the spring itself after I take out the Nivomat shock?

So, if I under stand this I remove everything from the rear of the vehicle to get to everything under the carpeted area. Then open up the area in the back to gain access to the upper nut on the Nivomat. At that time, am I undoing the upper nut? Or is there another step that I should be doing?
