'89 240 Wagon...I want to replace my OEM struts with some Bilstein Touring cartridges and change both upper strut mounts. I'm installing new ball joints too. I have two questions:

I've got some upper strut mounts from Uro parts. The bearing looks like it sits about a half inch below where the OEM mount sits in relation to the fender well metal.... Has anyone had a problem (intallation/alignment adjustments/...?) with any particular after market strut mounts and is there one manufacturer that you would recommend over another (or avoid all together)?

I have to remove the "strut anchor" from the strut tube to access the nut at the top of the ball joint and to press out the ball joint. I should replace those bolts too. I called Volvo to get new "strut anchors" but they are no longer available....

What in the world should I do? Try matching the old bolts with new ones and clean up my current strut anchor?

Any help with this or shared solutions would be a godsend. This is new territory for me in terms of repair experience.
