A shock absorber is a device that controls the spring oscillations when the vehicle goes over various road irregularities, so the vehicle's tires remain in contact with the road. In some cases, shock absorbers have a secondary function as a suspension limiter to prevent the suspension from either over-extending and/or over-compressing.

Suspension Coil Spring
Your coil springs are not especially prone to failure, but if they have been cut, clamped, or heated to have the vehicle lowered, your 1994 Volvo might benefit from replacing the strut springs. Excessive rust can make the springs more prone to failure. Contact your local Volvo service department to have your suspension system evaluated.
