Front Strut Replacement... 200

Hi

This past Dec. I did the same job on a 90 244. Channel lock pliers budged one side. The other wouldn't at all. What worked was a hammer and drift.

I installed Sachs Super Touring struts-I did have the spacers on hand but didn't need them.

As far as the strut mounts go I have heard to stay away from everything but SKF and Volvo. Either way I think the SKF ones are a lot cheaper at Pelican Parts than eEuroparts. And I think Pelican Parts also gives you free shipping over $75.
