Actually $250 for a pair is not bad. I tried for two years to find them at a local junk yard, and never even found a S70. Plenty of 240s, 740s 940s etc. I found them a couple of times over the Internet, through suppliers, but the cost was not much less, and they were just "used", couldn't even tell me if they were rebuilt or just originals that would of course fail. Only found two individual ones on Ebay, one front and one rear, both were the wrong color (plenty of 850s though). None of these are "better deals", in fact not even deals. As I said on an earlier post, the Swedish Parts cost was greater than the Volvo rebuilds.

Considering all the labor necessary to actually rebuild one, and the fact that new they are >$400 EACH from Volvo, then $250 a PAIR for professionally restored ones seams pretty good. I saw one at a dealer that someone tried to do themselves with a kit, really bad.
