Re: Sway bar link replacement - jacking question

Ok, thanks everyone. I think I knew the answer to my main question about the scissor jack, but just wanted to see if anyone would tell me I could get away with it. I won't attempt without a floor jack. @Tonyx, I've seen a sway bar link replaced successfully with hand tools, as per RaymanSean's advice.

Sway bar link replacement - jacking question

I need to replace my RF sway bar link and I have a question that may reveal my naivete: Is there a problem with just using the little jack that's meant for changing spare tires to raise the one side of the car? I have the sense that I need to have the whole front end off the ground to relieve any te...

Bluetooth (Scosche) in 2001 V70 T5 (HU-613)

Hello, I want to install a Scosche Bluetooth kit (BT1000) that was recently given to me. All I have for installation instructions is what is in the attached/pasted pictures.

Could be...or it could be bad wheel bearings (hub).
Would this be visible by removing the wheel or just getting the car up and looking on the inside of the wheel? I haven't done much work on wheels, so I don't really know what to look for.

Autodim mirror replacement

On my just-bought 2001 V70 T5, the autodim rearview mirror isn't working -- fluid floating inside makes a line straight across. It isn't unsafe, just annoying. When I took off the mirror, unplugged it and tried to install the old mirror from my 850 that I just junked, not only did it not fit with th...

Another thing to try is to get the new transmission software loaded if previous owner haven't done so. I know that the previous owner had this done. I have the entire service history from the day it was bought. Don't have the info. on me, but I know it was done, maybe somewhere around 60K. I was dr...

2001 V70 T5 - Whirring noise at low RPMs in 4th gear

Hello, everyone. I've spent a lot of time searching for someone with a similar problem, but no success. I just bought a 2001 V70 T5 with 96K miles. Everything seemed in very good condition and I didn't notice anything strange on test drives. Just a few days ago, I began to notice that at low RPMs in...
