Can someone point me in the direction of the measurements for the factory struts?

I need the compressed measurements as well as the full extension measurements.

Thanks!

I just checked a strut that came out of my '89 wagon, marked with the Volvo trademark and part # 1272125.

It was 19" compressed and 26.5" fully extended.

Thanks for the info. Now to do some math, some online shopping, and hopefully new struts for not so much money!
