No problems..that's the 'problem'....
It's 90 degrees F in the sunlight, humidity about 90%, You sweat just from thinking too hard.. so what does this moron do on 4th of July (America Independence day)? Go looking over the car for mechanical issues.
My wife is working,the lawn is mowed so what the heck. It's been a while since I yanked a tire off the front. Am I lucky, are Volvo OEM parts that good, is the mechanical dynamics from Volvo engineers that good? I have a little better
then 270K miles on my car (original owner) and I cannot believe that the Ball joints,on the front of this car are not screaming to be replaced. No wheel sag when I jack it, zero movement when I push/pull the tires and when physically
looking at the joints, all is good. NOT complaining mind you, just amazed.
I hope everyone had a Happy 4th.
