Description: Volvo XC90 Loaded LF DuraLast Strut Assembly fits 03-13 models. Very low-mileage take-off. In-store price $238.00! Replacing strut cartridges requires spring compressor tools and training, and the operation can be DANGEROUS! Loaded struts are a way for DIYers to have a bolt on solution to strut problems, from knocking broken spring seat to bouncy blown-out cartridge. Normal sockets and wrenches are all you need to install this part on your Volvo. This is a barely used store return offered at a STEEP discount off retail of $238. Based on my 40 years of professional mechanic experience 30 of them as a Volvo specialist, my forensic analysis of this strut's history is as follows. Based on the markings, the sway bar link was not tightened fully, causing a knocking noise, so the purchaser returned it because it was "doing the same thing." The sway bar link locking nut is difficult to tighten without an impact wrench; the counterhold flats are very small and hard to access without a slim wrench. The original strut probably had a broken spring seat, which requires spring compressor tools to replace. We replaced hundreds of these spring seats over the decades at my shop to cure knocking noises on bumps at a retail cost of around $350 parts and labor for one side. Anyway, here's a chance to get your hands on a really affordable alternative to using a repair shop or paying new retail to fix your bad LF strut on your XC90. Note that if not replaced in pairs, ride height may end up slightly different from side to side. Ships via USPS Ground Advantage. This package weighs in at 24lbs, so if UPS offers a better price to your zone I will use that and refund the savings after checkout. FREE local pickup available.
