Nice. Get them powder coated in Laser Blue. That might be a better finish than paint.

FCP has released their best sale so far this year, running 6/26/23 until 7/5/23. 5% off orders of $100+, 10% off orders of $500+. The coupon code is FOURTH. From what I've seen, the only sale better than this will be Black Friday and Cyber Monday so now's the time to get what you need. I'll point ou...

As it turns out, extreme axle restoration may be more difficult and less perfect than it seems: The carrier bearing I bought (Febi 9181693) has a rounded profile instead of the flat edge on my 1999 and 2000 axles. It fits into the carrier but the only points of contact will be a thin circumference i...

usparts.volvocars.com is offering (only) 10% off parts and accessories for Independence Day from 7/1/23 through 7/4/23. I really hoped for a bigger discount like last year but hey, we'll take what we can get. FCP is offering 10% off orders of $500 or more, and since their prices are cheaper, they'r...

My rebuild plan is to remove the right outer and inner tie rods, remove the right end cap by removing the wire, then replace the right seal. Like a cam shaft seal, I may have to puncture the seal with a screw to remove it. I don't plan to remove the pinion or anything else. I will try to do all of t...

Is rank iCarSoft third behind Foxwell second and VIDA way out in first. For my 2016 Mercedes, I had a choice between iCarSoft and a Foxwell. With very few in-depth reviews to go by, I chose the Foxwell NT530. It seemed to have a better user interface and better data graphing abilities than the iCarS...

ABS should not affect limp mode. Mine had failed ETM and ABS. Swapping in an ETM let it immediately run smoothly. Still haven't finished fixing the ABS 2 years later; simply pulled its power cord (which stops the brake from triggering but let's the speedo/odo work).

That screen sticks out pretty far from the face of the dashboard. Try to find the depth measurement to confirm that the shift knob won't hit it. And as you likely already know, be sure the height of the box in the dash will fit between the middle rail and the top/bottom. The three single DIN radios ...

Does anyone know the printed size range for the following Norma worm gear clamps. For instance, I think 988024 is Norma 16-27. Mine will likely be too rusty to read. These are for a 2000 V70 NA FWD auto. Coolant reservoir bottom to coolant pipe (non-turbo), oil cooler x4 - 988024 Coolant pipe to HVA...

I may be heading to a self service junkyard in the next week so I'll watch for it. I'll be looking at a 1998 so I hope it fits the 1999.
