Thanks to all those that contributed to my quest to replace my late, great 940 wagon. I found a 1998 v70 with experience (288k) that spent its life in the service of either the dealer of origin or an employee thereof. Most components have been changed out and many engine parts replaced with higher performance parts. Truly well cared for.
The lift gate supporting "shocks" for this car are past it and need to be changed out. I had to change them out on the 940 and it was pretty straight forward. These,on the other hand, seem like something on one of them foreign cars. The whole reason I use station wagons is for the carting of things. Grand piano actions and an 88 note digital controllers. . So, a self supporting lift gate is important. Has anyone ever had to deal with this issue? The old rake handle ploy won't cut it.
Thanks!
