front strut units for 850 850

posted by  someone claiming to be mark on  Wed Oct 12 14:54 CST 2016 [RELATED]

Anyone have any experience with these fully loaded front struts for sale on ebay - they run btwn $100-150 for a front pair of new struts, with springs and mounts! Are they total pieces of junk? they are offered by companies like 1aaautomotive and am-automotive - the big parts dealers not the specialty volvo part dealers like eeuroparts or fcp.

I have a busted strut on my '94 wagon that has covered nearly 500K miles. Not sure much longer I can keep her running - starting to blow oil smoke out the rear tail. Was thinking I could go for a pair of these, even if they only last 1-2 years. On the other hand, I haven't kept this old tank running by using cheap inferior parts!

I'd appreciate any experience or POVs.
