Hey all!

Cleaning out the garage last week and stripped down a couple of pairs of struts from two 91 240 wagons. One had a set of green strut inserts, marked "Volvo," "1272125," and "JAPAN." These looked like new. The other pair had one blue insert marked "Volvo," 1272125," and "Germany," while the other was black and marked "Volvo," "6819141-14," and "Belgium." Both the blue and black inserts seemed pretty well shot (could compress the rods a couple of inches with little/no resistance, though the rebound resistance seemed OK).

Anyways, I tried to look these up in the VADIS Volvo parts catalog but came up empty. Were these all roughly equivalent? I tossed the blue and black inserts, but kept the newish green ones just in case. I figured that they might be better than some of the latest "Hecho in Mexico" offerings from Boge, etc. Have to admit I was surprised to see a Volvo part stamped "Japan."

Any thoughts, BTDTs?

Thanks in advance!
