92 940 Hub replacement 900

I have done the whole front end of my 91 940 turbo 196,000miles. Two stabilizer bars, one upper bushing and one lower bushing, ball joint, and tie rod per side. The upper and lower bushings are pressed in and are a pain in the ass to press out. I had a 5ton press jump off the floor when the one released. Once I went through the trouble of getting them out, I realized they really did NOT need replacement. Once you’re into it, remove one of the control arm bolts and wiggle it around and inspect. Then make the call. I replaced the stabilizer arm with the poly style and have been pleased. It is very important that torque spec be followed precisely or clunking and damage will occur. The suspension also needs to be in its normal position when you tighten and torque any and all of the bolts. Since I do not have a lift, a good ditch worked fine. I found this out the hard way. I did not follow my advice. The car clunked after a couple of weeks. I messed around with the bolts but still the clunk. Broke down and bought a torque wrench, proceeded to torque them properly. Bingo…solved. Can’t help you on the hub…never been there.
