Vacuum elbow 850

Thanks for the info. I found pictures on volvospeed.com but the shop had already replaced the hoses. I do not have any sort of diagnostic tools but am looking for some. Do you know of any good diag tools? I could have done this job myself. Live and Learn. Another item that happened - the shocks were replaced with aftermarket shocks by my husband. Upon driving to Maine, I could here a noise in the back - sounded like the muffler hitting the floorboards. We reached our destination. Took a look in the back and the left shock absorber had broken at the top. The top nut came clean off, couldn't find it. The other nut had taken a small 1/2 inch wide triangle piece off the frame along with the bolt. Why did this happen? Now I must have a body shop weld it back on. The shop told me that it was because of the aftermarket shock absorber. I am wondering if the shock absorber was not the right one for the car, purchased at a Foriegn Auto store.

Thanks
