Need Help: Richmond, VA- Suspension Work

Post by SweedSpeed »

Hi All

I've got a good bit of suspension/drive train work to do and not enough time to tackle the job alone. Would appreciate some assistance from a fellow gear-head with Volvo repair experience. I have never done suspension/drive train repairs but am handy with the wrench. After I replace the ETM this weekend (provided I don't get waxed by the "Frankinstorm") I would like to get to this project.

To Do: Driver CV axle, upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends.

If available, please contact Geoff @ [email protected]

Thanks!

Hmmm...if you're doing it next weekend I may be able to drive down and help. Ain't happening this weekend though with this storm coming through.

Hey jblackburn! I appreciate your offer and sorry for the lack of response. Pretty much the whole family got sick just after I posted so I've had to push this off a bit. Maybe I could shoot you a line when this becomes a possibility again? Likely a couple weekends out. Thanks again.

No problem. Let me know. Next 2 weekends are ok; after that, my life gets busy and it gets cold outside :(
