Pre-Built Strut packages? S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be BenE on  Mon Jan 25 04:17 CST 2010 [RELATED]

1998 S70 GLT 189Kmi. Anyone know a source for pre-assembled strut/spring/seat/bushing packages? I'd like to replace the front struts and springs on my S70, and was hoping I could get these pre-built so I don't have to use the spring compressor and fool with the top safety nut fittings. I just want to pop the old assembly out, put the new ones in, and get it aligned. I know it's lazy, just trying to save myself a little hassle.

Sorry, you are out of luck. Most folks do not want to replace the springs when replacing shocks or bushings.

A spring compresor at Sears is about $55 and well worth having for DIY. The star nut on top is not a big deal either.
