      I ordered these from fcpgroton. They were aftermarket, not original Volvo. The only problem I had with them was that they had a higher gas charge than stock. With both of them installed, releasing the tailgate resulted in a _very_ powerful lift - enough to pose injury from an upppercut to the chin. My solution, install only one, leaving the other side with the old strut. Good luck.
