1. • Standard Coil Suspension: Many XC90s come with a traditional coil suspension, which uses standard shock absorbers.
   • Air Suspension: Some higher-end models feature an adaptive air suspension that allows the vehicle to adjust its height and dampening for optimal comfort and handling. This system is more advanced than conventional shock absorbers.
2. Symptoms of Worn Front Shock Absorbers:
   • Excessive bouncing or a rough ride, especially over bumps.
   • Unusual noises from the front of the vehicle, such as clunking or rattling.
   • Increased body roll when cornering.
   • Leaking hydraulic fluid around the shock absorbers.
   • Uneven tire wear, indicating suspension issues.
3. Replacement Considerations:
   • Cost: Replacing the front shock absorbers can vary in cost depending on whether the XC90 has a standard suspension or air suspension. The air suspension system is generally more expensive to repair or replace.
   • Labor: The labor cost to replace the front shockers can also be significant, as the suspension components are intricate and may require more time for disassembly and installation.
4. Aftermarket vs. OEM Parts:
   • OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) shock absorbers: These are typically recommended for the XC90 to ensure the best compatibility and ride quality.
   • Aftermarket shock absorbers: Can be more affordable but may vary in quality.

Common Front Shocker Issues in the Volvo XC90:

• Leakage: Shock absorbers may leak over time, which can degrade their performance.
• Bushing wear: The rubber bushings that cushion the shocks can wear out, leading to a harsher ride and noise.
• Air suspension issues: In models with air suspension, leaks or compressor failures can lead to improper ride height and reduced comfort.
