Hit a curb going 10-15mph. Front driver-side wheel is running into wheel-well, strut is bent back toward cabin. This happened at 10:40pm, so I couldn't see the damage very clearly after I parked it a few feet from the curb-attack, luckily this was 1/3rd a mile from my house.

I feel fortunate the 940 is a RWD car, due to my perceived ideas that this will be "cheaper to fix" than a FWD car.

Just from popping the hood, it doesn't appear that area the Macpherson strut attaches to is bent or damaged in any way.

Seeing how we do not have a Volvo mechanic for over 100 miles, I'm assuming a dealership with other RWD vehicles (Ford trucks?) would be able to handle this kind of repair.

With it being winter, and me having shadetree knowledge and experience, I guess I should be asking what I should be looking to purchase to keep prices low on repairs. EX: Where to find a strut housing that won't destroy my bank acct.

Photos in the morning.
