No don't worry about that, you only have to drop the subframe enough to get a spacer in between the subframe and the mainframe, about a quarter inch, make sure you do this otherwise the bushings will not seat fully. Note the orientation of the bushings before you take them out and put the new ones ...

Oh yeah, removing the transmission is no problem. If that was the hardest part - I'm relieved :) I have a 3-point support bar from ages ago and a cheap cherry picker from HF. Dropping the transmission for the rear main seal job was not hard. The engine swayed away from the engine mounts and I had a...

Okay, I see it now. So where yours has a pretty defined lip, mine are flatter. Probably gave mine that little extra room when positioned at an angle to let one release and the others then had the room to follow. Thanks everyone for the information. I’ll play with it some more now I know what was su...

********************************************************************************************************************** Hello again Did the measurement and I got 19.5mm from the edge of the wood to the marking I did with a saw blade. This was with the piston pushed all the way in and pushing against...

To find the resource to investigate this do I just look in the main PCV replacement instructions? Or is there a guide for this particular part (don't have a need to do full PCV service atm) I've replaced the banjo bolt with the latest design and it's supposed to have 2014 stamped on the head of the...

Need to replace front passenger axle sometime soon. 2006 V70. Is there a difference between Turbo & Non Turbo shafts? I've been looking for a decent used one on eBay, but most FWD ones I see are only listed as fitting Turbo model. But yet I've seen new aftermarket shafts listed elsewhere that s...

Check the threads in the side channel pieces for the four torx screws that hold the glass on and also the torx screw threads, if the threads are in good shape use medium strength threadlocker and retighten the four screws. With my car the previous owner had stripped the threads in the side piece for...

Big problem today with my Volvo S60 2.5T AWD :( Driving along when the car suddenly lost drive, just like I would shift to neutral. Now If I wait for a while the car works like normal for a couple of minutes and then loses forward and backward 1. The oil is in good condition and at the right level ...

A couple of test attempts: ... When it works you can feel and hear the gears engage. Based on the videos I'm going to say it is a clogged filter and checking pressures could help verify. I attached my notes about cleaning the filter externally through an added hole in the transmission case for dire...

How are things going?
