PSA: Don't buy this wheel bearing for your S80!

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

Just a quick public service announcement. Avoid this GMB wheel bearing:

Read and listen to the reviews. I was stubborn and had to learn the hard way. :cry:
The base of these bearings are too big and will not fit into the housing unless you take off the handbrake or you grind down the base. It is a huge PITA to install these and definitely not worth the trouble.

Appears to fit the AWD models only; not FWD models.
