cleaning out my garage, thought somebody would want this thing. worked fine in 2018, can't test it now, since the car is long gone. it's yours if you pay for shipping.

My 2001 V70 T5 Wagon has reached the end of the life of its second transmission, and I'm not going to put in a third one. It has about 220K miles, and it runs OK, not like new, but it passes smog. Everything about the car is pretty tired: the drivers seat has a couple of loose seams, both the front ...

Oh interesting. I'll double check the temperature. Valve body looked good, rebuild from valve body pros in Santa Clara.

Hey, just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of positive feedback for Andrew: his setup worked perfectly for my P2 V70: it's literally like three clicks, and you're in VIDA. Highly recommended.

Is this something that just happens sometimes? Or am I doing it wrong? I used a lot of grease, and not too much pr...

the ride is totally fine, no change in smoothness.

also, it's not just a pillow ball, there's also a spring seat and a roller bearing in there, so the ball only takes the damping load, not the spring load.

rather than replace a FOURTH broken spring seat, I got on the Kaplenkhe train. I wrote up the work, hope you-all might find it useful.
