    Unity brand shock absorber for XC90 - Advise

    Hello Guys

    I have a 2008 XC90 3.2AWD

    One of my front shock absorber is leaking oil so I have to replace them.

    I was checking on ebay

    I found the Bilstein 22-170729 and Sachs 314125 for around US$ 120.oo each one. These are only the strut along and I need to buy separately Front Shock Strut Mounts bearing Plate, coil Spring Seat.

    I also find the UNITY 11485A/11486A “complete assembly” that’s comes fully assembled with all the parts ready to install for US$ 267.50

    Have any of you has installed this UNITY brand?

    What’s your advise

    THX

    I haven't even heard about this brand. Tbh, if you want something good & reliable, go with Bilstein, Boge or Sachs and buy the Lemforder mounts and plate. (Boge, Sachs and Lemforder are ZF-Germany)
