Save those eccentric bolts for those stays!! The washers and nuts are available, the bolts are not.

Well that did it, no more noise. All I have left now is to put the back seats in, some fuel, alignment, new ignition switch and finish the body lol. Light at the end of the tunnel but at least the mechanical part of it is done

Just throwing this in here.
My '99 V70R is still here looking for someone to treat her right. Runs well. Mostly stock.
Needs a battery, blower motor, f'ing ebrake done, rear hatch lock and two tires.
Location: Massachusetts.
Had my right shoulder replaced a few months ago, I wasn't able to work on anything for several months leading up to surgery and still won't be able to do jack for her for a long time yet.
She'd be a very good candidate for a full restoration partnered with a non-running but less rust match, or boneyard parts.
PM me.
