COMPLETE STRUT ASSEMBLIES V70-XC70 1999

Good day all, in need of struts up front. I am thinking of the complete assemblies I see popping up online. Any thoughts or recommendations on these assemblies. Thanks in advance to all that respond.

    You mean things like dust boots, 'bearing', and top mount (3 screws)? I only ever get shocks, strut mounts, and occasionally new mounting bolts.

    Watch out for the ABS sensor wire mount on the strut, there is a little plastic push pin to remove and the mount comes off.

    Keeping it running is better than buying new

    I went with Bilstein Touring, and so far so good after 6 years

    You will likely need top strut mounts which are a high mortality item.

    Maybe sway bar end links.
