Re: Control Arms

AJTnGA,
I tied the pipe tightly to the down side of the control arm and leveraged against a 2x6 piece of wood protruding from either side of the car. The wood was put between the stands and the car bottom. My helper was pushing the pipe down, and I was aligning and inserting the ball joint stud.

Re: bolts for turbo assembly on 2002 s80t6

Blue02,

In my 2000 S80 T6 all three screws are identical: M5 x 20 mm with T-25 head. Any M5 screws of appropriate length would work just fine -- you can buy them at any auto parts store or at HomeDepot/Loews. For the central screw, Volvo part number is 965175. For the side screws, it's 969408.
