Front suspension struts
Hi there I want to find out if you can buy a complete front strut assembly for a v70 r 1997 ready to just install with Spring aswell? Saves me a lot of hassle.

You can get used on ebay, do you need to replace the springs or the dampers?
If you decide to get used, make sure they are in good condition or you'll be back to where you started...I would also suggest trying to get two from the same car |

Hi on checking I need new shocks but not sure if I need new springs and top mounts . Anything I may need? I'll look at PFs.

5 year old shocks were still good (enough) as were the original 17 year old springs with 205k miles on them. Videos covering various things to look out for are on my YouTube channel. Different car but it's still a Macpherson strut so the principles are the same.
