Tail gate support 120-130

The pneumatic support rod for my trusty 1967 222S tailgate gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, and I have not been able to locate a replacement at the usual spots. Does anyone know of a source?

Thanks,
Larry - Pasadena CA USA

    At least Volvo put in a fail safe device on the other side so you can lock it into position.

      Klaus,

      That is a great site! It may not have exactly what I need, but I may be able to jury rig something for cheap, we are talking about a $200 car after all.

      While I am waiting for my local Volvo dealer parts guy to call back, I'll measure full/compressed dimensions, and do my best to estimate the required force.

      Thanks,
      Larry

        I know it ain't perfect, but if you do manage a replacement, document it here so the rest of us can learn.

    Hello,

    The only place I have ever been able to get the correct tailgate shock is directly from Volvo.

      Thanks, Erik, the parts man at Rusnak Volvo is "researching" it now. We'll see what he finds. I fear the price! Oh well./Users/leyoung/Desktop/IMG_1104.JPG

        Hello,

        The last one I remember selling over 3 years ago was over $85.00.

        The current suggested list price for the support from Volvo is $116.47!

        The part is still available, but there are none in any of the Volvo warehouses in the USA.

          According to VP Autoparts (the US affiliate of the Swedish Veteranprodukter AB) this part is 676 SEK in sweden (with 25% sales tax) so it should be about $80-$85 + shipping with them. Part number is 670449.

          See them at vp-autoparts.com

          Johan is a nice guy to deal with.

          Best wishes,
          Oli

            Hello,

            I did not think to look at VP, but they do appear to have them.

            However, the suggested USA list price I have, which is from March 2010, has them at $94.95 a piece.

            I know VP had an across the board price increase about 6 months ago, so the price is probably a little higher now.
