spring failure shock 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Soren, GammelVolvo on  Fri Oct 31 06:27 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello TomTom,

Not THAT far away as the others (I'm in Denmark..)

Anyway, I think that the bushings bearing the upper "A"-arm has gone.. Checking each side of the front-bearings etc. is farely easy:

Jack up (each at a time) the frontwheel by lifting the car/tire off ground, right where the shock-asorber is mounted on the lower "A"-arm. Doing so, you release every weight from the wheel and can easily test the bearings and bushings etc.

I would bet my money, that bushings where the upper arm is mounted has gone..

Hope you understand my explaination.. :-)

/Soren
