...if you move some other stuff out of the way too. I was doing a bit of a suspension overhaul this week and one of the items I was changing out was the stock sway bar for the ipd style. I was prepared to drop the subframe but since I was changing out some other stuff I thought I'd try something. Wi...

Good advice. Thanks.

So there is a wire ring that goes around the edge that holds the tripod bearings in the socket. I wasn't looking for it because none of the write ups I've read mention it. It is easily removed with a o-ring pick.

96 850 R. Replacing cv boots. I watched Roberts video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gonWl9mJd_Y At about the 13 minute mark he shows the inner cv joint tripod just pulls out and then there is a snap ring to take it off. Well my tripod is not just pulling out. It slides almost out but the ed...

Cool.

Thanks.

I just got some new inner tie rods from FCP. They are the Lemforder brand. I can't move the ball joint on these at all by hand even using some vise grips.

I didn't use a tool to reconnect the line. I don't understand why you would need to. I guess I can try it.

It felt like it clicked into place when I put it on and it held high pressure for 2 days. If the spring wasn't in position I wouldn't imagine it could hold any pressure.

I recently replaced my evaporator myself. That's a tough job. Just had a shop recharge the system the other day. It was working fine for a few days. Today one of the quick connect lines at the fire wall blew apart. I am at a loss here. Any advice would be appreciated.

My CV boots are split. I was thinking about replacing the axle as a unit. Anybody know if a used cv axle from a s60 would work?

I ended up replacing the amp and wiring together with that off my other 850 and it fixed the problem.

The wiring seamed to be intact. I'm still not sure where the problem was.
