Best Parts Sources?? 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Brickster on  Mon Aug 18 02:12 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I plan to rebuild the suspension on my 95 960, but the dealer parts pricing is way out of proportion.

My mechanic is a master Volvo mechanic, and he suggested buying the parts independantly, but said to be careful because many parts do not fit well, requiring expensive retrofits.

I have two questions:

First, what non volvo parts are best for suspension? I am told that Munro Sensatrac often do not fit well, creating installation issues. What is the wisest course here?

Second, where is the best place to buy, and what should I specify to get OEM Original Volvo parts? FCP Groton, Rock Auto, Swedish Motors, UAP/NAPA,and others have been suggested. I am in Canada, but the dollar is at par.

Ideas appreciated as I plan to buy this week.
