850/V70 Rear Hatch Strut Replacement

posted by  someone claiming to be jenkins on  Sat Dec 18 13:39 CST 2004 [RELATED]

If you buy the genuine Volvo replacement struts, they are about $50 (or more) each. I bought my struts from FCP for half the price. The only downside was that these aftermarket struts had a much higher gas charge. Consequently, when I replaced both, the tailgate swung up with too much force. My solution was to use one new strut, and leave one old one in.

I later found that the Pep Boys stocks the OEM brand (Sachs/Stabilus) at a more reasonable price than genuine Volvo.
