I have 2 240's- one a 245 DL and a 240 turbo. The turbo is near death, but it had new OEM Volvo front struts in the trunk and have been there for several years. The car is too far gone now, so I am improving the DL with bits here and there. Anyway, the DL needs struts and I was wondering if there is any difference between turbo and regular struts and if they'll interchange.
If anyone is tearing up over the turbo, I am too. It has no rust, but interior is shot, as are the trailing arm bushings and probably all others as well. Sunroof has gone the way of most of them. The reworked head has only a few thousand miles on it and the car didn't burn any oil when parked a year ago. The AW 70 moved the car and would shift, but not long for this world. 276k for a turbo isn't too bad, I guess.......
