The OEM part for P80 AWD is NLA

The OEM part for P2 AWD is still available but is shorter, so wont work

The washers and nuts are still available for both, so you could fab a P80 bolt by welding the eccentric washer to the head end, and Dremeling a channel in the other end.

Covered a bit here...

Shame I missed out on this I have things I wanted to order. So was that the flat fee for shipping to the US? I was looking at 2 parts that cost a whole 38euro so that would suck to pay double the cost the part to ship it.

Looks like I'll be needing another set of valve seals.

If you need them stat I might have set #2 in stock. I am in ITALY GERMANY and FRANCE this summer, so can probably bring back suitcase side parts from SKandix with local delivery and skip that nasty EU- USA charge.

Thanks for the offer, but no hurry here. I still have 4 left over from the last set ( came with 24 for 6cyl ), so I can buy 16 separately, and it won't be too bad $ wise.

Hi abscate, I need 2 of part number 3546435 (product number 1093575) rear spring anchors from Skandix. They are the only place I can find online that has a reasonable price on them (other than some Lithuanian eBay sellers, I would rather use Skandix though if you can include them in your order). Looking to get my rear suspension replaced this month. Thanks

I am going to Germany next week planning to visit the store again, but its alittle out in the middle of nowhere. I know weve had this conversation before but are they still considered cheaper than the US for genuine parts?

I think the mantra is they are comparable for Volvo parts, but have more availability than we get here in North America

EU USA shipping is expensve, so that wipes out most savings
