What can fit in your 1992 240 whether ABS or no:
- Boge Turbo Gas or (more like factory compliant yet more sprightly) Automatics
- Bilstein Touring
- Koni (Orange or Yellows as you like)

What won't fit in the strut tube, yet one decade ago some may have said:
- Bilstein HD
You must grind the metal away from the lower strut cartridge housing exterior so it fits inside the 1989 or 1990+ 240 strut housing. Or you must replace the 1990+ strut housings with early to mid 1980s strut housings.

Have you or are you changing springs? What about bushing, hubs, steering rack (inner & outer tie rods). The usual karp.

Are you replacing the strut mount? Volvo OEM only. Have yet to learn if the Boge branded Volvo 240 strut mount from Boge is the same as the Volvo OEM strut mount that Boge supplies to Volvo.
