Re: ball joint replacement 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be WBain on  Wed Nov 7 02:35 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I replaced my ball joints recently. I also used a pickle fork. I bought ball joints at NAPA which came with the bolts. I checked the bolts and they were a grade 5 bolt not a grade 8 bolt as Volvo uses. I hunted around and found 3 at the local LOWES. SO I bought them and used one of the old ones. So far so good.

So, check before you buy. If you buy from Volvo, they should come with the proper grade bolts, grade 5 being a little too soft for me. I temd to 'take' the corners.
