Parts needed for strut replacement

Jim,

I recently replaced all 4 shocks on my Volvo. I replaced the original Boges with KYB GR2's. All I needed were the shocks. The fronts are not struts, they are shock inserts (look exactly like the rear shock, but bigger). I am assuming you will need the four brake lines in the front (2 on each side) as these are probably 'rust-welded' and are very difficult to remove. My mechanic had a tough time removing them off the strut housing and had to cut them off and replace with new ones.

Cheers,
SM
