S40 Spark Plugs Wires Resistance
Does anyone have any idea what the maximum resistance should be for spark plug wires? I am considering changing them. Car is a 2000 with 205K miles.

Re: Help!!!! Rear Strut Rebuild Issues-2000, S40

Anti-Roll Bar connecting Link nuts, 2000 S40
Gentlemen - I need to change the Anti-Roll Bar connecting Link on my 2000 S40. When I looked at the 2 nuts securing the link, I see that each nut seems to have something like a ring type threaded locking device attached to the top of the nut. Do I need to unscrew that prior to taking off the bolt? O...
