Hello again MVS users! I was unable to find much information on the use of Progressive's Snapshot device on the S70 series (aside from the annoyance of port location). It's my understanding (I consulted with an agent) that the savings could be up to a maximum of 20%. However, we all know that the lo...

Members, I purchased this gladiator April 2012 when my GLT of the same year was totalled by a drunk driver. Honestly, I didn't feel safe driving anything else (not even the rental car I was provided). Car is located in Madison, WI. On a sidenote-Took nearly 4 months but I fixed my GLT myself (bodywo...

Appreciate the tip rmmagow, I have 15" steelies on my parts car which is currently my daily driver s70 n/a (295K) but I was looking to either sell or salvage it in pretty short order as my GLT is getting final paint today after stopping a drunk driver. I can't salvage or sell without wheels, bu...

Thanks for the info igel, you mentioned that you only switched the rears when you had the rubbing. Do you think that maybe it was due to the fact that you were running smaller wheels in the front? Perhaps if all 4 had been equal diameters it would have worked? If anyone else knows please chime in. I...

Hello Forum members, Beg pardon if this topic has already been addressed. I was unable to find an answer and it's time to shop for winter tires for the Midwest fall. I have an opportunity to buy a used set of 16" rims from a S80 and get the corresponding Blizzaks from Costco or Tire-rack and ha...

The Sachs Super Touring referenced above (OEM on the 98 S70 GLT) are not to be primed because they are not in fact gas struts which need to be primed prio...

Hello Gentlemen, I need some guidance in determining the actual current value of my beloved car that was rear ended by a Chevy 1500 going 40mph while I was stopped to make a turn. The damage is contained to the passenger side rear. I'll post a picture. IMG_1330.JPG IMG_1321.JPG I owned this amazing ...

Hi Inlineframe, I just completed some similar front end work thanks to the help of this forum. Just to be more specific I completed both sides tie rods (inner and outer), control arms, and rebuilt front struts. I received a great tip from a forum member to get the tires balanced as well to make sure...

Gentlemen, Thanksgiving wishes to you all. Quick question, I wanted to double check. I purchased Sachs Super Touring Struts the OEM replacement for 1998 s70 GLT. I'm assembling now, but I can't seem to get the strut rod to come out all the way even after priming several times. I just called FCP and ...

Gentlemen, thank you both very much for the quick reply. Will proceed with the hex or the Torx method. If I may ask as well, what does the "angle tightening" term refer to? (Haynes manual 10-7 "tighten the control arm inner mountings to the specified torque using a torque wrench, the ...
