Hi Randy,

I figured your mix and match question maybe was based on different washer thicknesses under the strut mount. If so, I don't know the answer.

The "sealed" style is what I found on my 83 turbos. The PO was adamant about using real Volvo strut cartridges, and these were the heavy duty variety.

The four ears are what I used to stretch it over the gland nut. Looks like you could maybe add a band, but it hasn't been necessary on mine.

BTW - nice job getting that strut mount bearing seal off. I can't even see the pick mark.
