I think this is a grand compliment.

Outstanding work, Manov. I think I can speak for all of us here at MVS when I say we're very proud of you.

Fantastic results. Great to hear your success story. And a Ducati in your future!

I don't believe that you can. The rack bolts to the subframe and the hoses have a rigid part that runs along the rack on the back side which means between the front subframe member and the side of the motor is all the in place space you have to work. See visual for a 5 cylinder, not sure what motor ...

I believe that the only way to replace those hoses is to drop the subframe to some degree. I don't see how you'll be able to do it otherwise.

FYI that the P2 subframe bolts are single use and should be replaced with new. A good time to put in new OEM subframe bushing in that are reasonably priced. Verify the torque turn values, if I remember right on my S60 it was 88 ft-lb + 120 degrees.

Welcome back our friend and great to see you back in on your car! Congrats on your completion of your training and gad you finally were able to hunt this issue down!

Neil.

Fully working!!!
