What have I done. My 85 244 was sagging in the back and my spare tire area was dragging on everything. I replaced my springs from that of a 80's 245 along with the shocks. The shocks are used and I dont know how many miles are on them but I do know that the shocks I replace were from the factory and had 120k on them. I was going to swap out the rear sway bar while I was down there but the donor car had smaller sways than the ones that are currently on my car.

Now the questions: 1] my car still kinda is squatting in the back, do I have really good shocks in the front or is this an illusion as volvo made the wheel openings different front to rear?

2] It 'pushes' the car into turns, is this a result of the 'new' suspension set up in the rear or does this have to do with my 'new' set of 185 65 15's? [which I would not reccomend].
