Direct Replacement Kit

The Unity 2-259320-001 kit supplies two nitrogen gas-charged rear shock absorbers built as direct replacements for original equipment. Unity automotive backs the parts with over 50 years of aftermarket manufacturing experience. The twin-tube design targets trouble-free installation and long-lasting reliability. This bundle covers both rear corners in a single purchase.

Volvo 850 C70 S70 V70 Fitment

The kit fits 1993-1997 Volvo 850 models and 1998-2004 C70 coupes and convertibles. It also matches 1998-2000 S70 sedans and V70 wagons. Owners of other Volvo chassis or different model years need application-specific parts. Builders working on non-Volvo platforms should verify compatibility before ordering.

Twin Tube Gas Charged Design

Each absorber uses a twin-tube construction pressurised with nitrogen gas to control damping forces. This architecture replaces the factory units without modification to mounting points. The gas charge helps reduce aeration and fade during extended driving. Select this kit when the OE rear shocks are worn or leaking.

Questions about this item

Will the twin-tube nitrogen gas charge hold damping force on a fully loaded 1998 Volvo C70 during long motorway runs?

The kit supplies two nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube shock absorbers designed as direct OE replacements for 1998-2004 C70 models, so damping remains consistent under sustained loads.

How much heat or noise do these rear shocks generate during all-day driving?

Twin-tube gas-charged design runs at normal suspension temperatures with no audible noise; heat builds only to typical operating levels seen on any 1993-1997 Volvo 850 rear end.

What existing hardware must be on the car before I can bolt this kit onto a 2000 Volvo V70?

The shocks mount to the original upper and lower brackets on 1998-2000 V70 models; you reuse the factory bolts, washers and bushings already fitted to the vehicle.
