UPDATE: I found the mysterious noise! The left anti-sway bar end link appears to be loose on the bottom; Is it supposed to be metal on metal contact? As stated earlier, I also found the front control arm bolt (d. side) was broke in half, but luckily I was able to back out the broken end and thankful...

Thanks everyone for the help! Yup, I had the tapered end on the top end since the part number stamp pointed that direction... duh! So I guess the part # is now upside down, but does seem correct now. That really wasn't too much of an issue, the main reason I keep taking it apart is the clunking nois...

Thanks for replying, Robert. I know you probably can't see it from the photos (theres more on my flickr pg) but I had the spring lined up to the notches top & bottom, believe it or not. It doesnt matter if the spring is flipped around, does it? Meaning, no top/bottom to them are there? I tried t...

If he rebuilds turbos, he should have known the 15g is not the same as a 13t; I'm surprised he would try and pass it off as the same performance wise. Sorry to hear that, hopefully you'll get it figured out.

I know this Q (with images) is going to be odd, but I'm at a lose and now need an opinion. I changed out my front strut mounts 3 yrs ago and had no problems at all, until Jan/Feb when the left front started making weird noises; and not the usual crunchy (bad mount noise). So, I pulled the left side ...

I bought my tan ones here, but when they arrived they were not Volvo oem; still better than none though! http://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/31282/Door-Lock-Bushing-Beige-9421710/ http://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/31283/Door-Lock-Bushing-Gray-9421721/ I know on our '98, when the sun shines strongly on the...

I just put Lucas Oil synth. 75w/90 (from Advance $17 for the bottle) in my '98xc. It appeared to be of high quality... but then again most are nowadays.

I switched my '98 over to Synth. (high miles) oil when I bought it 1.5 yrs. ago. I wouldn't think there should be any new leaks, unless he put in some really thin oil like a 0/40 weight. I know when I started putting in 0/40 wt in my Corrado, it did develop a leak at the oil pan (& the gasket wa...
