Now shopping for shocks and strut inserts for our 1993 240 sedan. I've used Bilstein HDs in the past, but their strut inserts don't fit the ABS cars. Also, I'm leery of their touring model as the rear shocks have a reputation for being noisy (still a problem?).

Finally decided to go with Koni, but just read the following note on the FCP-Euro website:

"Requires re-use of OE strut housing, which needs to be cut. Instructions are included, please see the video attached to this listing."

I watched the referenced video, but not sure it applies to the Volvo 240 strut...but thought I better make sure BEFORE I buy.

Any insights or BTDTs would REALLY be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
