Re: Headlamp lighting very poor on my '98 S70

Just in case anyone wants to see the difference between the TYC assemblies available on Rockauto vs the original 20-year-old assemblies. We're pleased. We can finally see again.

07 S40 2.4i: Rear Sway Bar Link Options (Ford Focus?)

Hi everyone, I've recently acquired an S40. What a difference from the S70... Anyhow, I love both cars. (And plan on keeping them as long as possible.) One question I had was about rear end links. FCP lists that this is the part for my car: https://dyw03owr7vs3n.cloudfront.net/public/assets/products...
