Re: Just how rare is your Volvo

I will double check with my mechanic, but he changed the first one when I got the car at around 170,000. Then I learned about this site and did the second one myself at around 205,000, a little late. Looks like it should be do for another in the near future. :?: Unless my math is screwed up, you ch...

1998 C70 2.3 - what is this hole?

Anyone know what this hole is for, and if something should be plugging/routed to it? http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/RSTweed/Volvovalvecover_zps04cc47e3.jpg I did a PCV system replacement and tune up over the weekend, and put a new oil filler cap on just now. I was just out there cleaning all ...

Just ordered a pair of Lemforders. Couldn't wrap my brain around getting the cheaper parts again. Now to lay on my back in the driveway again...

Re: Does this sound like a bad control arm?

Another thing I noticed last night...I'm actually hearing a small 'clunk' coming from the driver's side. It's not happening all the time, but I heard it twice. Pretty sure it was when I started going after braking.

Thoughts on replacing with another Meyle?

Re: Does this sound like a bad control arm?

EDIT FCP Euro has already agreed to take it (them) back for full credit, so my plan was to deal with them, not Meyle. And now that I think about it, do the C70 arms really need to be preloaded?

Re: Does this sound like a bad control arm?

I did not. I bought them...they are sitting on my bench.

Should the control arm move front & back within the bushing? Is that normal?

Does this sound like a bad control arm?

Hi All. First post, and I have a question. I have a 1998 C70 coupe, and refreshed the entire suspension last July. Most were OEM Volvo parts, but I opted for Meyle control arms due to the significant savings. I might be regretting that decision. Lately I notice the steering wheel is positioned a bit...
