Setup, Compatibility & Care
This strut is designed for a specific Volvo XC60 application. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle's fitment using the MPN 742240SP.
Installation Requirements:
- Ensure you have the proper vehicle lift or jack stands for safety.
- Use a high-quality coil spring compressor; never attempt to disassemble the strut without one as the spring is under extreme tension.
- Always have your vehicle's wheel alignment checked and adjusted by a professional following any suspension strut replacement.
Maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the strut housing for signs of oil leaks or physical damage.
- Ensure the dust boot remains intact to prevent road debris from damaging the piston rod seal.
- Clean the area around the bottom clamp during your routine brake service to prevent corrosion buildup.
