Replacing the front inserts on the wagon with Bilstein HD's. I was told it's a good time to also treplace the front strut mount/bearing as well. Heard horror stories of aftermarket strut mounts failing and going through the hood.....not good!
I see Autohaus AZ has a kit they label as OEM for way cheaper than FCP or others charge for OEM. The manufacturer is listed as "Lemfoerder" but they tell me that is OEM.
Anybody know if that is the case? Thoughts/experiences on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Hard enough to spend the $$ on the inserts let alone another $150-300 on the mounts/bearings.

I have had good luck with Febi Bilstein mounts. Try Tasca Volvo or Borton Volvo for OEM mounts.
