Re: S80 T6 2002 Rebuild suspension

Thanks Vegasjetskier! I was referring to the Sway Bar End Links that go from the strut to sway bar. They rotate freely when twisted, but also have a little play when you push and pulll on them. As far as the binding in the sterring, the fluid is great, and you do not notice until you try to turn the ...

S80 T6 2002 Rebuild suspension

I have a big project on my hands. I found my upper engine mount and lower torque mount is bad, my passenger side control arm bushings are bad and I was told by a mechanic I had bad front struts (braking dive). I have 118k and never had struts before. Car is on jacks and wheel and fender skirts are ...

Re: pulls while braking

I had the same thing on my 2002 S80 T6. Went to three different shops, two sets of rotors and lots of man hours to find out the rear control arm bushings were bad.

Re: S80 T6 2002 Strange sounds under gear shift

Thanks all! I will let you know what I find. I have since found at least one bad front control arm bushing. I just had these both replace 35k ago. I also had the rears replace this year. What next!?!?

Re: S80 T6 2002 Strange sounds under gear shift

The pics are on the old post now. What is my best solution? Should I also do the IPD Strut brace mod while I am at it? How will I know if I damaged my lower mounts of trans mount with so much flex on the engine? Do I need to take off the plastic cover under engine and put it on stands to watch the ...

Re: S80 T6 2002 Strange sounds under gear shift

I have 118k on it and have been using synthetic oil for the last 3 years. Oil level is almost to point of needing a quart, and it is due for an oil change.
On the engine mount, the circular sleve around the rubber center is pulled out of the frame now ( this changed since the last I saw it the ...

S80 T6 2002 Strange sounds under gear shift

I am trying to diagnose some strange sounds that seem to be coming from under the gear shift area. They sound like a popping or grinding sound and happen while driving and while sitting at idle. They seem to be worse and louder after coming to a stop after driving. Temp does not seem to matter. It ...
