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.

Mixed reviews on Amazon..! https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-11152-Complete-Assembly-Passenger/product-reviews/B00801RJFU But according to the seller they had only a 3% return rate in 2014 :) http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198234

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.
