Hey Mathew,


For strut mounts, the consensus around here is that the OE Volvo mounts hold up a lot better than the aftermarket ones. FCP has a good return policy if you want to send them back. The aftermarket crank dampers may not last as long, but are a whole lot easier to change than the strut mounts. The crank hold tool makes it really easy, but most of the places seem to be out of them. These are a couple of the things that are best to OE with. You also want OE for other suspension parts as well. I think the Scan-Tech parts are made in more than one country. I think that Scan-Tech farms out production to many companies. Some of there stuff is okay. I usually go with OE parts or known good aftermarket parts on important or hard to change stuff. With Tasca Volvo, many OE parts cost about the same as aftermarket.
