Adjustability in the 240 top rear spring mount? 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be hudson on  Fri Dec 12 05:44 CST 2003 [RELATED]

""Hudson.The difference is the 140 springs have pigtails on both ends.The upper end bolts to the frame using a large rubber pad and steel washer.The 240 springs only have a pigtail on the bottom end.The top end is the same size around all the way to the top,(Aside from the bottom pigtail,follow me?) In the 240 there are bell shaped parts that bolt on using the same bolt that was bolting the spring to the frame.The bell shaped pieces go inside the spring.Another benefit is the top of the spring won't be bolted in so rear spring changes become 1 very accessable bolt.I will take pictures tommarrow.I should have a 140 (mine) and a 240 on a lift. ""


Thanks for the info. Can I get the 240 mounts from a volvo dealer? Or do I have to pull them out of a junkyard (which I don't imagine would be very fun at all)?

You mentioned adjustability in respects to the top 240 mount. Are they the same mount? or are there many 240 top mounts to achieve this adjustability?

I am going to be throwing in a pair of 240 sport springs into a 140 soon and will probably need to adjust the back spring to get the ride height right. I don't want to have to cut the rear spring or use one of those coil compressing bolts.

Thanks, Hudson
