Re: POLL: Pro Parts Sweden VS Genuine Volvo

That makes more sense as the only vehicle I could find they had shocks for were 960's. I did some more reading yesterday, and one of the things to look into may be they may not make the shocks themselves. I found a web-site where they were talking about KYB shocks ready made strut kits. The person w...

Re: POLL: Pro Parts Sweden VS Genuine Volvo

Just like the P80s, OE was Sachs up front and Boge on the back. Both are owned by ZF now and have been incorporated into same factory line, so whichever is cheapest or most available will do fine.

Re: What makes a Volvo RWD system unique from most other rear wheel drive cars??

My input (having never owned a 9 series Volvo). Rear wheel drive is not bad if the weight is biased over the rear wheels. My old 240 series wagons did well in ice and snow if they had a little weight added to the rear. With chains on the rear, they would go until the snow in front was too deep to dr...

I got the engine in and fired up. Still rewiring the interior and getting the electronics / software straighten out. Project is on hold until next spring when it warms up.

Re: 96 960: IT HAPPENED!

I've had good luck with the transmission in these 960's. I don't exactly baby mine. I do take it easy during warmup. It's a straight 6 and I do enjoy It's acceleration. Regularly hit 4k and even 5k. I don't bounce off the rev limiter though. I don't treat it as though it's fragile. I drive it but do...

Re: 98 v70 n/a vs 95 850 turbo parts swap, 96 960 remote

I found an 850 turbo wagon. I believe its Nautic blue. It has the third row seats. I want to know if door trim, 2nd row seats, dashboard, heater core, foglights, headlight wiper motors, and third row seats all are interchangeable with parts from a 98 v70? Can the 850 headlights and bottom headlight...
