Unity 259310 Rear Shock Absorber for 2007-2013 Volvo S80

SKU CH-EE7P-NMBDN

Twin-tube gas-charged rear shock absorber replaces OE units on 2007-2013 Volvo S80 models

  • 50 years of aftermarket manufacturing experience
  • Twin-tube gas-charged design for OE replacement
  • Direct-fit for 2007-2013 Volvo S80
  • Industry-leading suspension innovation
  • Trouble-free installation with long-lasting reliability

Designed for 2007-2013 Volvo S80

This rear shock absorber is built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on 2007-2013 Volvo S80 models. It suits owners and technicians who need to restore factory ride quality and handling on these specific vehicles. Unity Automotive draws on over 50 years of aftermarket manufacturing experience to produce suspension components made for trouble-free installation and long-lasting reliability.

Replaces worn OE rear shocks

The twin-tube gas-charged design serves as a direct substitute for failing original shocks on the listed Volvo S80 years. The upgrade is worth it when the original units show fluid leakage, excessive bouncing, uneven tyre wear or a noticeable decline in ride control. It is not intended for vehicles outside the 2007-2013 S80 fitment, nor for applications requiring adjustable damping or heavy-duty load levelling.

Direct-fit installation

The unit is engineered to bolt into the existing mounting points without modification, supporting a straightforward swap for professional mechanics or experienced DIYers. Common issues arise if the upper mount hardware is seized or if the companion components such as bump stops and dust boots are not inspected and replaced at the same time. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware does the Unity 259310 rear shock absorber require for a 2007-2013 Volvo S80?

The shock absorber is a direct OE replacement for the 2007-2013 Volvo S80 and uses the vehicle's original upper and lower mounting points; no additional brackets or adapters are needed.

What is the correct installation sequence for the Unity 259310 rear shock absorber, and which step is most often missed?

Remove the wheel, support the lower control arm, unbolt the old shock from the upper strut mount and lower control arm, install the new unit, torque fasteners to Volvo specifications, then reinstall the wheel; the step most often missed is torquing the upper mount nuts to spec while the suspension is at normal ride height.

How can I tell when the Unity 259310 rear shock absorber needs replacement on my 2007-2013 Volvo S80?

Replace the shock if you notice fluid leaking from the seal, excessive bouncing after bumps, uneven rear tyre wear, clunking over rough roads, or if the vehicle fails a bounce test at the rear corner.
