850 front wheel wear shocks struts 850 1996

Hopefully your ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rods, and control arm links are not originals, but if they are, you should replace all that too. Your alignment guy won't be able to do the alignment after the struts are replaced if the other front suspension parts are overly worn. I believe the ball joints are part of the A-arm that you buy in one peice for the 96. Comes with new bushings.

I recommend sticking with Boge shocks and struts. The bilstiens are really rough (heavy duty)
