Look into CuNiform lines which don’t rust and are much easier to work and flare than steel lines

Thank bdub and dirk for teaching me about them, now we both know how to fish

Nicop line is very easy to work.
Bend it with your hands.
Don't use a beam style flare tool.

This one worked for me.

no special reaming tool needed , don't cut the line with a saw obviously. FCP has the proper cutter. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mini-tubing-cutter-1-8-5-8-gearwrench-2107?ads_cmpid=1556508155&ads_adid=59436370552&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=294603731951&utm_te...

I've read reports that using anti seize on the balljoint splines can cause hydrolock and prevent it from seating flush with the knuckle. Antiseizer should be fine on the splined end of the axle for the wheel bearing though. Use sparingly.

Parts are scarce for both of my cars in Canada. Now that the border is open I buy 100% of my parts (except emergency items) from the USA. Sales figures were and continue to be incredibly low in Canada for Volvo passenger vehicles. Yes I would agree the S60 is more well-documented online. But with so...

I don't think Volvos are the Volume vehicles they were. When Volvo decided to 'go upmarket' with their models and partic...

Two sets of MY2005 fenders I have, got almost no rust. Very little rust around frontend anyways. Rear fenders is another story.

Get a replacement, soak rust-prone spots with cavity wax. I like Noxudol 700. Will not rust.

OK, thanks. I see the subject of replacing the little thermistor in the climated module gets a lot of ink online, some have "suggested" I guess, that it got damaged by connecting the battery without having the key in POs II. I do hope it's just a myth as I've disconnected/reconnected the ...

Had to replace it, sourced one from Erie Volvo Parts.

It would be due up at 215,000 miles, so another year of driving is ok. There is a lot of safety margin on these belts. The US version that is warranty for 150,000 miles uses exactly the same parts.
