98 V70 GLT Turbo I've been battling this issue for a while now. The exhaust smoke is white. It's not antifreeze, as I know what it smells like when head gasket goes. Plus, I've checked all 5 cylinders pressure. The smoke smells good.. A little rich, and oddly humid. When I drive the car, and I step ...

I also wanted to state, I purchased the XC-90 version. My v70 is an AWD GLT.

With me posting above that I replaced the spring seats, what would give you indication that's the problem? Very curious... Is there any sort of diagnostics I can do without ripping the tires off?

I'm checking that link now..

I just installed the Bilstein Touring struts on my car. At the same time, I also did new dust boots, strut mount, spring seat, bump stop and "Cap". My front right side was totally shot, driver side was still good. So, after the replacement, for the first 300 miles, it ran GREAT! No noises,...

Ahh.. Yeah, 2 are leaking here. probably best to replace.

This is what I'd recommend (pricing from Superior Volvo in KC): 956561...oetiker clamp...qty = 4; $1.94 x4 976584...oetiker clamp...qty = 2; $2.00 x2 977964...oetiker clamp...qty = 2; $2.58 x 2 8653339...short hose to engine block...$5.85 1271653..hose to engine block... qty = 1; $8.76 1271654..hos...

perfect. adding everything now.. could really use a 15-20% off coupon for fcp.. ha. Between this and my front suspension parts, i'm in @ almost $800.

Any chance you know approximate size of clamps needed/used?

Right on! Thank you so much!

Yeah, realized I removed that.. I have been checking pricing between IPD and FCP to see about best deal, and making sure I'm not sacrificing quality. The rest looks good though?
