Looking recently for struts replacement - and got this web page - https://www.importpartsnow.com/oem-parts/volvo-shock-absorber-271911/?c=aT05NzEwMzEyNCZyPTc%3D Everything look legit - but can not see anywhere physical address or location. Seems like internet operated only. Checked another parts on them - and suspiciously saw that parts on photo read " Scan-Tech "... Am i too suspicious? Quick internet research did not give to me any info about this parts supplier. Price for struts - 82.72, so good... are struts made of ...whom? Monroe was OEM as i knew... If anyone ever have been on that web site and got parts with no problem - would like to hear it, or opinion. Thanks.

    Monroe was the last supplier out of the factory in Spain. They stopped production and the last pair was sold in the USA about 2 months ago. I just saw the listing at E Euro and that would be great if Proparts has contracted to have them made- perhaps in the same factory where the tooling exists.

    I may drive up there to check them out. The only other option is custom from Kaplhenke Racing at $1800 a pair including springs!

      Thank you for suggestion. So, i was decided to give a try for FactoryVolvoParts.com. Ordered - verification e-mail received.But it will not be " me " if everything went smooth and soo good from first attempt ... About 3 hours later e-mail let me know that my order was canceled " due to the absence of requested items" ... now payment return will take around week or so... And this part still showed as available... There is couple more web pages - they so similar to one each other - ( and part of interest showed as available as well - just +/- 10 $ price difference. Checked domain and other available info - all those web pages based on godaddy.com kind platform - with different ownership and locations. Checked eeuroparts.com - ProParts struts ... Now hawe to wait for payment return before make another attempt... Have been read some info about ProParts - some users reported that struts itself read country of origin - Spain. Guessing that as all aftermarket it still like a lottery. So, for now - awaiting for next week make order from eeuroparts...
