Re: '96 850 Radio Questions

Definitely check out Crutchfield. I have done lots of cars with them and they give you everything. Correct fitting components, adapters so you don't have to cut original harness, instructions, kits when necessary, free lifetime help etc. Once on a 240 I was getting a buzzing from a RCA to line out p...

Re: Busted control arm, needs new CV Half Shaft too… worth the work?

(maybe another $100 for a ball joint tool). Autozone has extensive tool loan program. Free as long as you return the tool.

Re: New England Winter for a Desert Volvo?

Spray a cloth with your preferred treatment then wipe the door seals, no over spray. I put the four snow tires on my '94 850 because it has over 300,000 miles and keep the newer ones parked.

Re: Diary of a 17 y/o with an 850

Definitely don't take that one off yet. As Misha pointed out hood could fly open. My safety latch was similar to yours and I forgot to fully close one day, hood lifted, stuck head out window to safely pull over. Ordered new one when I got home. Attach a piece of wire to pull on it, drape it thru the...

Re: Lower control arm and CV boot, should I bother?

Need to see where the grease is coming from. If boot is still good it may be coming from loose clamps, you may be able to tighten a little.
