Tailgate struts 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Minnesota Volvo on  Sun Nov 15 14:00 CST 2009 [RELATED]

My 850 wagon tailgate wont stay up. I need new struts. Will Sachs/Boge struts work? They seem more affordable that the one my mechanic wants to use...

Thank you for any suggestions

Very easy to DIY! Just order a pair for a wagon, not sedan, and use a flat bladed screwdriver and a broomstick to support the tailgate:

If you are in USA, just order the struts from IPD or some other supplier. You can install them in about 1-2 hours. The ones I used for a V70 were from Sachs but made in Mexico.
