Running a 24 year old car is not always easy and when I needed new struts for the rear window I expected to have a long search, little choice and an extended delivery time.
Not so with SGS. I ordered on line having checked the part number on the originals and the website. It all matched. I was astounded to receive the goods virtually the following working day. Watched the online video, instruction leaflet enclosed with struts. Hey presto easy, job done.
Thanks for a super service. The cardboard tube they were packed in even withstood Royal Mails best attempt to damage the contents.

Q&A
A single Volvo 480E 1968-1996 tailgate/boot gas strut manufactured in the UK with a 2 year warranty and new end fixings. Replaces part number(s) 3404159 3458557.
UK Made - not a cheap imitation from the Far East or EU.
We recommend always replacing struts as a pair to keep the force even between them - often replacing just one strut causes the older strut to fail soon after. This is because even if an old strut hasn’t totally failed, it will have lost pressure and matching it with a new strut will cause unequal forces between the two struts, side loading and premature failure of both struts.
