struts 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Frank on  Thu Jan 3 17:32 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Without seeing this car the only thing I'll comment on is the control arms because what really IS common with older, high mileage 850s is that the ball joints wear out and at some point in '94s I believe, the ball joints went from being a seperate part to one costlier part, no longer seperatable from the control arm. I have also seen a couple control arm bushings (not a seperate part either from Volvo) become worn but that's not common.

If you have doubts, get a second visually inspected opinion from someone with Volvo FWD experience such as a trusted dealership if there's one in your area?
