Shock absorber or full strut: 1984 240GLT
Am looking for the NSF shock absorber - that's the body that contains the insert that we normally think of as the shock absorber.
If it's more practical, the whole strut. My 35-year-old shock absorber has rusted through at the top, failed the MoT and can't get back on the road without a replacement. New parts are not available any more, apparently. |

David - give Barry, Bernard or Ethan a ring at Lakes in Huntingdon - they have a few 240s in at the moment. 01480 212291
Good luck, Nick |

there are also 2 different types , depending on chassis number , I would think they would be available somewhere as the 240 is still pretty plentiful around the world , there was the R/H side listed in volvo classic parts a few years ago . Has your dealer looked up the correct one and seen if it is available ?

GLT struts are the same. I can offer a good one but as exchange only.

Dai, at Classic Swede.
I've tried contacting you with a private message and through your website, but no reply. Does that mean you can't help? Thanks. David. |

No luck at Anglesey or Huntingdon, but eventually located in Devon.
So, problem now resolved. Thanks for all the input. |
