Let me clarify the 'shift' of suspension... 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Rockytop on  Wed Nov 26 20:08 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Thanks, Frank, for the help. OK, maybe I was being a tad dramatic, but the "shift" was the front rotor/wheel traveling forward ... to the pt. that the brake line/wire had no more slack in them. I can push it all back where it can rest, but it's beyond the pt. where the steering hub lines up w/ the ball jt. When I then try to line up hub w/ ball jt by pulling it forward a little, the rotor/wheel definitely want to again push all the way to the front again. Is THAT normal or is the front rotor/wheel supposed to just hang there limp?

2) My control arm shipped (genuine volvo) w/ a cheap hard plastic sleeve over the ball jt. with "LD-PE" printed on it, and it comes off/on easily. I DO remove that prior to trying to install, correct?

3) Tips on how to get the ball jt. inserted up into the steering hub? Does it take
a rubber mallet, etc??
Thanks!
