Womala Front Left Shock Absorber OE 31329496 for Volvo S60 V60 2011-2018

• High-strength steel cylinder (resists pressure and corrosion, with anti-rust coating);
• Chromed piston rod (reduces friction, ensures smooth movement, and prevents wear);
• Damping oil (maintains stable viscosity across temperature ranges, ensuring consistent damping force);
• Sealing assembly (high-temperature resistant rubber seals, preventing oil leakage);
• Dust cover (blocks road dust and debris, extending the shock absorber’s service life).

Pre-installation requires confirming the part is for the front left (left/right are not interchangeable), checking the new shock absorber for oil leakage, piston rod damage or loose fittings, and inspecting associated suspension parts (e.g., springs, top mounts) for wear—worn parts should be replaced together. Professional installation is recommended, using special tools like spring compressors; fasteners must be torqued per Volvo’s manual (e.g., 25–30 N·m for top mount bolts, 80–85 N·m for lower control arm bolts). A wheel alignment is needed after installation to avoid uneven tire wear from suspension geometry changes. For usage, replace every 60,000–80,000 km (or earlier if there’s oil leakage, abnormal body bounce, bump noise, or uneven tire wear), and always replace front left/right shock absorbers in pairs—mixing old and new units causes uneven damping and harms handling/comfort.
