Hi,
I'm looking for a source for Volvo or OEM gland nuts for the struts. I put Sachs Advantage struts in our 940s a couple years back but have had some problems with them loosening. The Sachs gland nuts are pretty cheap. They have the threaded part that goes into the strut and then spot an outer part with tabs that go over the end of the strut. If I tighten these with big channel locks, I can bend these tabs in above the strut tube and they don't tighten down well. Today, I was trying to bend the tabs back out and the spot welds on the tabbed piece broke and it came loose. Fortunately, I had an old original Volvo one laying around and replaced it. They are so much better. I need to replace the strut mount on the other side, too, so I want to change out the gland nut while I am in there.

I've looked online at the Volvo parts catalogs at Borton and VolvoPartsWebsite and the parts diagrams don't show the gland nut. I suspect they are considered to be part of the strut. I haven't found them listed separately anywhere.

Any ideas? I'm open to good used if someone has some laying around. I could probably used 3-4 of them but really need one now.

Thanks!
