Hi all,
Just finished replacing both lower control arms and ball joints on my 1996 965. Weather and free time finally came together today - it's a job I have wanted to do for a few weeks. In a mere three hours a novice to this kind of work did a good job, no concerns about it. Things you must have: a service manual for the 960 (I used a factory manual), an 18 inch breaker bar, PBlaster (amazing stuff), and Volvo parts or OEM quality parts (I had Volvo control arms and MOOG ball joints). Everything fit like a glove!
If anyone has the energy to crawl under a car and get dirty, then you can do this job and save the labor charge at a garage. Best wishes,
John
