cruising Amazon I observed Gabriel strut tower bearings for $31? each, and Tokico blue struts - not inserts - for about $78 each. Any thoughts on either of these items? I don't see them mentioned in the 200 section of Brickboard. All these were for 1987 volvo 245 sort. Comments?

    Just popped over to the Tokico site and they do not list Volvo as a car that they provide struts for.

        Amazon's fitment guide often leaves much to be desired. I have found it to be more flawed than the same function on Ebay. I t is possible that they fit despite the manufacturer not listing it, but it is less than common.

        That being said, if you have a project car, extra time and the vendor is an Amazon certified vendor (pretty much no questions asked returns and free return shipping), give it a whirl and let us know how it works out.

          Tokico did make shocks for 7/9 cars but don't any longer. I don't know about 2's but would expect them to have done so. Maybe an old listing is being used?
