I just finished rebuilding the front end on our '94 940. Control arm bushings (front only), swaybar links, tie rod ends (outer only), balljoints & Boge Turbo Gas struts & shocks. The front is now sitting higher than the rear. Can I get by with just changing the rear springs?
Also, I ordered all this stuff plus brake rotors, pads etc thru FCPGroton. I thought I was ordering Boge Pro Gas struts. The part #'s match their Pro Gas stuts & shocks but the boxes said Turbo Gas. Are these one & the same?
Last question-the top bushing that sits under strut piston rod nut doesn't seem to be really snug. The bushing doesn't look that "worn". I used all the muscle I've got to draw it down. The FAQ says it should be tightened to 52 ft-lbs. I know I'm past that even though I can't get a torque wrench on there. Would a new bushing pull the front end down? Thanks.
