Here is my write-up for removing the oil pan, or oil sump as some call it, in order to remove and replace failing o-rings throughout the lubrication system. Removing the oil pan for o-ring replacement is a messy affair, but very necessary if you are experiencing low oil pressure due to old and degra...

Visibly, horribly loose ball joints leap frog to the top of the list. Volvo brand reman axles are probably A-OK. I've never seen it posted about to pop off the PTC pla...
