Trailing arm bushing replacement

Does anyone have an idea of how big of a job it is to replace the Rear Trailing Arm Bushings on 95 850 wagon?

Switching to a V70R AWD

I currently own a 95 850 GLT. I am really wanting to get into a turbo wagon. The 1998 V70R AWD have caught my eye. Does anyone have any input on good or bad things mechanically or otherwise to say. Thanks for your comments.

Getting more hpw out of a non-turbo?

I was wondering if there was any way to get more horse power out of my 850 glt wagon. Without a turbo, am I pretty much dead in the water? I would love to keep this particular vehicle it's just that there seems to be nothing I can really do with it? Ideas? or is this the same old story with non turb...

Re: Brake light?

If I have been driving with the Tracs on all the time with the weather being the way its been, would it possibly set off my brake warning light? I read and now know its just initially for starting out on slippery surfaces.

Re: Light after O2 sensor change?

Ya when I took it to the volvo dealership I use to work at, he reset my light and told me that my rear sensor was throwing a code. My mpg has improved a little, I would say 300 to a tank. I really need to figure out what else I can do to bring it up a little more.

Light after O2 sensor change?

A couple of weeks ago I had a code for the O2 sensor, bank 1 sensor 1. Along with it came 14 mpg, and a strong fuel smell through the vents. I replaced the front O2 sensor. The smell went away and it seems as though my mpg have improved a bit. The light came back on today with the same code, any ide...
