What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

Finally got tires for the Thors I picked up.

I know there's a few here running these wheels, what did you do for the center caps? My old ones won't swap over on the front.

That looks great. Just awesome.

There’s nothing like red paint, to say …. CAR!

It pays to obey the women in your life.

I must be a $7,000,000-aire by now….

Centre caps should be a straight swap over. I've swapped mine from my Columba wheels on my 850 to my Thor wheels on my V70 numerous times

Noticed that my right hood latch wasn't latching, and that there was a missing bolt.

What I had thought would be a 5 minute fix turned into 2 and 1/2 hours, and a case of the right side not unlatching instead which almsot made me give up at around the 2 hour mark.

Not sure if this is normal but the whole thing just doesn't work unless the bottom bolt is a little loose.

Anyways as promised here's a pic of my subframe's "folded ear"

Having just watched MoVolvos video post in the " Ticking noise " thread, I think the folded ear might be due to someone removing the oil pan.

Do you mean it's loose, too tight etc... If you have difficulty buying them just wrap them all in some color or pattern that you like. Some of the caps I have are loose while other tight so have to use the butt of a wooden hammer to push them out.

Race cars don’t have center caps.

Is there any workaround for discontinued part 9157320 and $100 part 9157321 for the AWD p80 rear suspensions? They're the bushings and support plates for the top of the nivomat shocks, and I fear that they may be going bad on my XC. I recently laid down the $600+ for new nivomats as I couldn't find a definitive way to side-grade to regular rear shocks and springs and keep the XC ride height.

The issue I have in front is that the threads for the axle protrude past where the center cap would go by a good 8-10mm. It seems there have been similar issues reported on the forum and the cause was stated to be because there's two different axle mounting types, one using a bolt and one using a nut. I'm on the nut type which leaves me with a lot of thread protruding from the Thors. I'm contemplating just cutting the thread but might go for raised caps instead.

The bolt axle is used on the 1999 - models i North America, I don’t think you can interchange these as the wheel hubs are different , too.
Check?
