Those quick struts were junk. Same story on my 01v70xc. Sachs stopped making them anyway. All chineesium quick struts are junk. Save yourself headache and just buy individual parts to assemble oem style strut(original springs not mubea, lesforders or whatever else fcp sells. Oem only and you will be...

HI Matthew, In my opinion, I came up with a much better solution to upgrade the P80 Volvo's notorious dashboard panel rattle issue. This design I came up with back in 2019 and they have kept my S70's dash quiet all this time. I sell them through Facebook Marketplace and on Amazon. https://www.facebo...

Because my 2003 XC90 T6 was on of the first to arrive. She needs me. She has had everything that can go wrong, go wrong.... almost. It was all fixed at the Volvo Dealer. Until 2019 when the third tranny failed. Service manager offered my sister $500.00 USD for her. He had worked on her since new. I ...
