However, their strut mounts are "Pro Parts Sweden"? Can't say I've ever heard of them.

Not sure I'd fit them. i've had a few things come in packing with Pro Parts Sweden on and all were Chinese made. Mudflaps for £19.99 that are identical to Volvo ones, with all the correct markings and logos. probably from the same factory, off the same production line. I too wouldn't want to fit their parts in my suspension - particularly at the top of the suspension strut... Interestingly I bought some Lemförder drop links for my V40 and one failed on installation. Full refund, but they were always a quality brand, I thought. I bought some Meyle ones instead - wow! So much more solid.

I read the other day that all S90 saloons are now made in one of the Chinese Volvo factories, with them being shipped to Europe on the recently completed train line. The start of the end...
