Re: 2014 XC60 suspension arm stay replacement, has anyone had to do this?

I found one of these Suspension arms this morning at the autowreckers and pulled it and then went home and worked on the car for about five hours installing it. Pictures below show the bend in the old one and how straight the new one is. I can only imagine the curbsmack that must have happened to ...

2014 XC60 suspension arm stay replacement, has anyone had to do this?

My wife's 2014 XC 60 has been pretty vague and unstable driving on the highway since we got it used about 5 years ago. I discovered a few days ago the reason why when rotating the tires. It seems that the left rear Suspension Arm Stay as Volvo calls it in the schematic has a significant bend in it ...

Volvo…saving lives and spoiling no walks…
Not like the C-6 and onward generation of Corvettes which I believe come with a white “Titleist” ball cap……..and have no room for a set of clubs ironically.

Re: A USPS Van just rolled past me with studded snow tires

Alot of the Amazon Dodge Sprinter vans rock studs here all year round, must be cheaper than changing the whole fleet over to summers for the short span of time they don't need studded winters.

Re: Why are most cars monochrome now?

The Seafoam Green was the correct factory colour and the restorer painted it with the correct lacquer single stage paint in 2009. The car was about a 98 point restoration with only NOS parts, it was actually too nice to drive so my buddy sold it 2 years ago for $109000 to a collector in Dallas.

My Charger in Hemi Orange and my best friend's Road Runner in Seafoam Green. Sometimes I just stand in the garage and admire the mettalic Orange original paint and it generates waves of euphoria, no kidding!

Re: Why are most cars monochrome now?

For some reason cars have become so bland these day. I've been casually considering buying a new domestic half ton lately, GM offers the trim level I'd be interested in with only four colours: black, white, or two shades of grey. No Thanks! The other thing I cannot stand is grey plastic interior ...

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Went to the auto wreckers today to find another trailer hitch and miscellaneous items, didn’t find anything useful except this ultra rare sunglass holder on an ‘06 XC 70 so I grabbed it and put it on my car. I’ve seen these in the accessories book and always wanted one but they’ve been NLA for a ...
