Nivomat to Standard Damper Conversion Kit
To Fit: Volvo XC90 2003-2014
This kit enables you to change from the expensive self levelling shocks (Nivomat) to standard shock absorbers and springs for less than the cost of replacing one nivomat shock!
Kit contains original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts :
When you remove the Niovmat self levelling dampers, the rear suspension will just be compressed down when under load like any other car.
Please read this information on nivomat suspension:
If you are considering making this conversion to remove the Nivomat function or not, we recommend that you choose the best option (replace with like for like expensive genuine parts or to remove the nivomat using our kit) based on your type of use of the car .
It needs to be taken into account that Nivomat self levelling is fitted as standard by Volvo on all XC90 models sold in the UK since it is extremely good to have. Nivomat keeps the rear of the car level under load for example when towing but unfortunately is also cost prohibitive when it comes to the time it needs replacing.
Making this conversion will not result in any direct issues, as models sold outside of Europe in markets such as the USA and Australia only had Nivomat available as an extra cost option, so the majority of cars there do not have Nivomat, and hence we know it is ok to convert your car back to standard suspension.
Unfortunately there are not any heavy duty aftermarket springs available for the XC90.
