AWD not engaging in my '02 S60

I've driven through the snow a few times and my all terrain tires and traction control seemed to be working well. However last weekend, I got stuck several times. In one instance the rear wheels were on dry asphault and would not engage (car was in reverse). In other instances while starting off and...

Thanks for all your help. The flush went fairly smoothly and I was quite proud of myself after completing the job! A couple things I might add (for an '02 s60): Another tool you will need (and this is probably a 'no-duh' to you guys) is a 12mm socket to remove the skid plate to gain access to the tr...

Sway bar end links and spring seat did the trick. Due to time constraints, I had these done at a local shop for $340 total. Still confused about the control arm bushings....where are they and what exactly is their role? Should I be concerned about causing further damage or major failure by not getti...

Thanks alot made. FYI, the clunking from the front end is the "spring seat" on one side the bushing is busted. Also, the sway bar linkage is slightly loose, a little worse on that same side. The shop was too busy to do all the work, but in addition to the tune-up I got the top motor mount ...

I have a used '02 s60 with 59k miles and I'm having what seems to be (hopefully) a very minor transmission problem, but I've heard horror stories about trannies blowing out at this milage so I want to try some preventative maintanence to delay or avoid the $3000 tranny replacement. My problem is thi...
