Replacing shocks and struts 200 1990

I've got a 1990 240 wagon. We call it the Sherpa Mobile since it can handle such enormous loads. When we lived on the Seattle side of the Cascades we had a great mechanic who specialized in this vintage vehicle. A few years ago we packed up and moved to the east side of the mountains. No mechanic for a hundred miles who has much experience or enjoys working on any Volvo so I've been doing a lot of the work myself.

Struts and shocks need to be replaced. Car is currently unsafe to take out on the highway. I have neither the tools or experience to take on the struts myself. Are there any tricks to replacing these that could lead to an unsuccessful outcome if I take it to the guy who works on our trucks?

I might take a run at the shocks however, hopefully there is a YouTube video to help me through the procedure.

Thanks for your help.

Lonely Volvo owner in north central WA,

Bill
