I've been thinking about rebuilding the front end on my 93 245. Seems loose and kind of crashy on certain rougher roads. I'm interested in the collective wisdom regarding struts. I've used Monroe SensaTraks before for other vehicles (non-volvo)and liked them. Anyone have comments regarding their use. I'm looking to restore the front to essentially original ride, but firm. Definately not harsh, but good and firm. When it comes to rear shocks, I like the better of the gas charged shocks, not the bottom of the gas charged line, but ones that hold their own when out of the car, the kind that are difficult to keep collapsed during installation so that the pressure is always on. I do not like hydraulic shocks, that's way to mushy. The KYB Gas adjusts in the rear have been fine. A bit firmer would be nice, but not dramatically so.

Sure would appreciate your opinions and have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

JBeechcraft
