What is the rear subframe corrosion like on your car? Particularly the mounting boult area behind the rear wheels?

Hi Neil,

My mechanic says it seems to be solid, if that helps.

I am surprised as I had to replace the one on my 00 V70R several years ago as it had corroded and cracked right through. I sent pictures to Volvo of 3-4 other P80 AWD's in the junkyard and they were all the same and for some reason were worst on the passenger side rear towards the back most bolt into the frame.

Good luck with your sale.

Neil.

It is a 98 so most likely not a chipped key. So it should be possible to swap the cluster for an MPH one. Others may know better.
