Hey Suzanne,
Just go online to www.FCPGroton.com and look under the 850 section or here's a link: http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo850other.htm . Just copy and paste the address to your browser window and it will take you to the correct page for the trunk strut. There is a different strut for a car with a trunk spoiler vs. one without so make sure you get the applicable pair. I would replace both sides at the same time. It only takes one to fail and prevent your trunk from lifting properly (one finger...lift). If both failed I doubt you could open your trunk yourself. The ones for the spoiler equipped trunks is $28 a piece, the one for a non-spoiler trunk is $18 (less lift capacity...), get the correct ones. The dealer charges about $80 for the struts. The strut is removed by removing the C-clip off the end attached to the trunk lid itself. The end that is attached to the car body just pops off, use a screwdriver for leverage to pry it free. The new one snaps back on the body point and then just replace the C-clip on the trunk end. Takes about 15 minutes each. You'll have to have someone or something hold the trunk lid open while you do this. Good luck.....
