Am about to take apart the entire front suspension of my car to put in new strut inserts, bumper stops/boots, ball joints, bushings, etc. and would like to have everything that I may need right here, on hand, so it will go smoothly and get done.
Have read the thread about the 91 740 with the clunk in the front end,
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1315304/740/760/780/91_740_sedan_right_front_end_clunk.html
and noticed in a post on that thread that the washers under the strut mount in Barnkat's car were worn to ovals. Does anyone know where I can get these washers? Are they a dealer-only item? I wouldn't think that just going to the local hardware store would do, would it? Aren't the kind of washers that support a 3150 lb. car a lot stronger than what the local hardware store would stock?
Where do you get them, and who can supply them *fast*? I would like to have all the parts here by Wed. so that I have the entire four day Thanksgiving day weekend to pull/overhaul the front suspension.
