S60 original sport suspension - questions
So I have my '03 (MY'04) S60 for about 17 years now and she is a very reliable car. Most of the Service was done by Volvo, but some things I fixed myself. That was also the case when the rear springs of the suspension where cracked. I got a nearly complete, original and barely used suspension system off of ebay and replaced just the springs back then.
Just some months ago I had to replace the bump stops and a dust boot in the front. The bolts of the now 23 year old shock absorber wouldn't want to come off easy. The shock absorber also leaked just from a short burst of the impact wrench. So I decided to swap the whole suspension with the one that I bought earlier.
Now, down to business: The rear springs, which I replaced a few years ago, are looking very rusty, and I'd like to replace them as well. Does anyone know if there are still new springs that would match the original ones? The Volvo part number is 12060004 I guess, but they where manufactured by Sachs when my information is correct.
I could also ask the local dealer, because I hope to get the original roof rack and wanted to ask if it makes sense to install a trailer hitch as well. Could also be a bad idea with the lower Volvo, but perhaps I could take the bikes with me on a trip.
