2000 S40T4 front struts "upgrade"

Post by Kulu »

Can anyone help please? I have just bought an S40 T4 88k FSH. Tjis car has been maintained by Volvo from new. I bought it off a "boy racer" who has changed the front suspension to TA Technix coilovers. I am assuming to do this he had to put new smaller top mounts on, the old off centre ones are in the boot as are the old springs and shocks all in good condition apart from the bushes.
Anyway, something is amiss with these coilovers, when i turn the wheel you can hear the tops "jumping" rather that turning. is there a part missing?
