740 shock and strut extra parts question

Post by **June** » 02 Mar 2023, 18:23

I ordered new shocks and struts from FCP Euro. They suggested bump stops and dust covers for the front. I bought the Sachs dual tube oil charged shocks and struts. I didn't buy the single tube gas charged variants. Will I need anything besides the stops and covers? I'm going to pay a local garage to install them. I don't wish to find out some sort of hardware needs to be bought as well. Mechanics familiar with Volvo around here don't exist. June

Not an expert or familiar with 740's but did have an ASE in Suspension and Steering. Good test taker

. From looking at all the different offering on CariD and the explanation of the design they should be the same. FCP I think would provide a caution if not a warning if you required additional or different parts associated with a certain part.

As for the pros and cons of each design
