96 965 Rear Shocks and Squeaking (Headache 2 of 2)

My 96 960 wagon’s rear suspension is driving me crazy!

96 965 Front Suspension Clunking (Headache 1 of 2)

I love my 96 960 wagon, but man is the suspension driving me nuts!

I have a persistent loud knocking coming from the front and I’m stumped. I’ve had a variety of noises and done a bunch of work to sort things out over the past several years: struts, mounting plates, bearings, lower control arms ...

Re: Power Steering + Misfire? (‘96 965)

Interesting. It's a thought, and would be waaay cheaper than replacement. I was under the impression that it was a bit of a bugger of a job, though? I had a look through this overhaul procedure http://www.volvotips.com/service-manual/volvo-960/Volvo-960-steering-power-rack-pinion-service-repair ...

Re: Power Steering + Misfire? (‘96 965)

Update:

The power steering problem seems to have resolved itself. I checked fluid, connections, hoses, rack, etc., and there was nothing to indicate what may have caused it to lose power. I can only theorize that perhaps there was an air bubble remaining somewhere in the system? But there was no ...

Power Steering + Misfire? (‘96 965)

Hi everyone, I’m a longtime lurker and have learned much from your experience and expertise. Finally joining the conversation with a peculiar problem I don’t see discussed:

tl;dr - replaced power steering pump, now cylinder 3 misfire and no power steering. ???

I have a ‘96 965 that has a few ...
