Her er noe jeg klippet ut av en nettside (http://www.freewebs.com/howardsvolvos/) med tips, det er dessverre på engelsk.
Jeg har ikke prøv denne selv:

Rear Shocks FWD

This is direction for my 2001 V70 T5 FWD car. My 2001 V70XC is different and I'll post more directions and links when I do the XC soon.

Remove the cargo cover, any cargo carpeting or tray. Flip up and pull out the second cover from the bumper in your cargo. Get the liner out.

Remove the 2 foam pads covering the top shock mount surface. Carefully to not rip them as you will need to put it back. They are held on by tacky glue at a 3 spots beside the sticky surface.

There are 3 bolts that hold the top shock mount against the frame and one center nut that holds the shock against that. Remove the center nut (a new one should have come with your new shocks, see for reference) I used a 1/2" drive (or a breaker bar) to just break loose the nut. Then I use a open end wrench with a torx bit to counter hold while taking the nut out. Now the top of the shock is disconnected but still compressed against the mounting surface.

Jack the rear of the car and take off the rear tires. You need to jack it up fairly high. The shocks has to slide out of the bottom. I had my 21 inch height jack fully extended. Don't forget to put the car on jack stands and tires under the edge of the car (I add few wide pieces of wood for additional height) for safety.

There is only one bolt holding the bottom of the shocks on. Bolt head is accessible facing the front of the car. This bolt is standard not metric. Once the bolt is taken out. Use a small crow bar or something to pop the shock's bottom mount from the mounting bracket. The shocks should slide out after.

Slide new shocks in from the bottom. Get someone to help you to look from the top so the threaded bolt on the top of the shock properly goes through the hole on the shock mount at the top.

Slide the bottom mount bolt back in and tighten it. This is where I had some difficulty with one of my shocks as it angled a bit and I couldn't get the holes for the bottom mount to line up on one side. I elected to take off the 3 top bolts that held the top shock mount in so the shock can angle a bit and get the bottom bolt on first.

If you took off the 3 bolts to the top shock mount, you have to reposition it properly before putting load on it (and the get the 3 bolts back on). It might even have fell down if you don't have the shock in there. If so, just put it on the top of the shock and push it back up. Mine had a rubber lip that has to be positioned on top of the metal hole. Use something (I used a small flat head screw driver to pull up by the metal lip on the mount) to lift up that side and get that lip over first. Then position in mount in the place so the 3 holes line up and put the screws in (put the nut on the top shock threaded bolt. This gives you something to hold on to while pulling and pushing things around to get it to line up). The screws are relatively short and may not reach if the top mount can't be pull up flush. You will probably need to position your jack against the bottom shock mount area (use something to pad the contact surface if you have shape edges) and raise it a little at a time. This will use your shock to push the upper mount up and try to get 3 bolts back on.

Once both shocks are on and the shock's upper threaded bolt is over the center hole, put the tires on and drop the car on to the ground. This will compress the shocks against the upper mount and push the top shock's center threaded bolt all the way up. Put the center nut on and everything else back on. You are done! Take it for a drive. Mine feels like a brand new car after this + front suspension + new tires :)
