S40 Spark Plugs Wires Resistance

Does anyone have any idea what the maximum resistance should be for spark plug wires? I am considering changing them. Car is a 2000 with 205K miles.

Re: Help!!!! Rear Strut Rebuild Issues-2000, S40

Yes. Springs are compressed and not in the way at all at this point. Even if I try to thread the nut onto threads without the spring on the strut, I still don't get enough thread showing through the rubber washer/groument to be able to even hand thread the nut on to get it started.

Anti-Roll Bar connecting Link nuts, 2000 S40

Do I need to unscrew that prior to taking off the bolt? O...
