Thank you for brining up the subframe bushing back to surface.Tonyx wrote:Can you elaborate on this? And any lessons learned from having done your subframe bushing?xHeart wrote:Subframe components are key to restoring stability, but often ignored. Suspension steels the show.
The issue is not resolved cause Volvo service says there is no history of replcing it in their shop, ever, on these cars. However, one senior tech did see the collapsed rear-driver's, checked the torque and said it is not going any where.
I asked, if the shop has ever serviced a Volvo this old... Silence.
My car's front ride height is 15" at PS and 14.5" at DS. This difference equals the gap no longer held between the frame and the subframe. I am not sure how geometry works between the two frames.
Picking on it a bit more, I have all 4 new tires now, but on the older ones, the two driver's side inner treads were rounded and flat while the outter was at 8/32. these were rotated at the 3k intervals during the life of it.
I have greatly improved handling since replacing all the front suspension parts, and the rear shocks.
