At the risk of annoying you can I ask if you have pushed the piston as far into the caliper as it will go? hahah, There is no way that I could be annoyed by anyone who is trying to help me. Yes, I pushed the caliper-piston as far back as it would go. Some brake fluid came out of the reservoir. Is t...

I went out and tried it again. Nope, still wont fit. When I said 4mm, it was a guestimate. Its actually about 1/4 to 1/2 inch on either side. Is it possible that the Non-ABS pads are thinner than the ABS pads? I thought the car was an ABS model because it has a big black box on the left side of the ...

Sorry my description was a bit un-clear. The V-shaped springs I am referring to are the ones that attach the pads to the caliper housing via a slot cut out on the top of the "girling" calipers. The old pads I am replacing are genuine Volvo pads and have the same V-shaped spring clips as th...

I could not afford the calipers so I decided to re-lube the pistons on the calipers and guide-pins using CRC-synthetic brake & caliper grease in the hopes that the guide pins might have been sticking and causing th...

Granted, the pad...

Not sure if this is exactly the fix you want but.....I drive a 94 850 turbo wagon and noticed its ride was fairly rough. I switched my tires to Falken Ziex 512 all the way around and it made a night and day difference. Traction was excellent but the ride quality was as good or better than replacing ...
