Shocks and Anti-roll bars-labor savings??? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be JimH on  Sun Jan 6 03:17 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi Peter,
I have a '98 V70, so we're talking similar vehicles. I had an independent shop here in Cincy do it, and it cost about $200 for the job ($50 of which was for an alignment, so I guess we're looking at about $50/hour). I don't mind spinning wrenches at all, but the front sway looked to be somewhat difficult to me. That's not to say you shouldn't try it; I was concerned when the instructions said "Make sure to loosen your power steering rack, otherwise the front bar won't go in." That turned me off, but I honestly don't know how difficult it would have been had I done it myself. I believe Bay 13 at volvospeed.com has instructions on how to do it. May want to check there first. Hope that helps.
