Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

According to VADIS you do not have to remove the subframe. However, instructions are given for two types of axle - live or multi-link. Which is yours?

Good to know you have it fixed. Thank you for the update.

VADIS shows a replacement cable for a live rear axle but I didn't think they had such a thing, but it is best to check.

Don't hesitate to post again if you need to.
