Re: 1998 V70r, Front Brakes Minimal/ No Wear - Heavy Wear Rear??

Thanks for the insight. Ive been working on this car for about 2 years and have replaced quite a few parts myself - including full PCV system, various engine hoses, radiator, plug/ wires/ distributor, cam seals, front rear shocks/ struts/ mounts...and more. I come from the Audi world and find these ...

Re: 1998 V70r, Front Brakes Minimal/ No Wear - Heavy Wear Rear??

Thanks. Ill check the rear calipers more thoroughly, and rebuild/ replace if necessary. Someone also suggested doing the brake lines while I am at it since they are 18 years old...thoughts? Rear pads are worn dead even. Had matching pads/ rotors on front/ rear (ceramic and drilled). Switching to non...

Re: '03 Subaru double DIN radio in '98 V70?

If you have the pigtail plug from the subaru it shouldnt be any different than installing an after market radio. (plug cut from subaru) If you dont have the harness, you will need to buy a used one off ebay or someplace, too much work/ effort otherwise. -buy the volvo adapter harness. -get diagram o...

1998 V70r, Front Brakes Minimal/ No Wear - Heavy Wear Rear??

I know these cars infamously go through rear brakes more quickly. However, I have gone through 2 sets of rear pads and the front looks new. I bled the brakes about 30k miles ago during the full brake service (f/r pads/rotors, new fluid). The braking seemed weak. So I fully bled the system a 2nd time...

1998 V70R, brakes are weak

ive done research and tried most fixes that have been suggested with only minor improvement. The brakes feel like they are manual, with no power assist. I can slam the brakes on at low speed and they don't grab hard. Also, at a dead stop, I have to press hard to just keep it from rolling. I've done ...

Re: 1998 V70R Parking Brake Shoe Issue

Appears to be a cable issue. After reading posts and viewing pictures it seems like the brake is stuck in the engaged position.

Re: 1998 V70R Parking Brake Shoe Issue

I confirmed the parts are correct. They also match what was on the car previously.

1998 V70R Parking Brake Shoe Issue

The parking brake on my car hasn't worked properly since I got it a few months ago. I disassembled the unit and replaced with new parts. (shoes and springs) However, the rotor will not fit over the new assembly. I have the adjustment screw set to the minimum and everything appears to be in it's prop...
