The PV I bought last summer looks good, but the care given too the looks didn't carry over to the mechanical's very much. I got the car into a shop (exclusively Volvo) with experienced people who know the old breeds and the evaluation is not pretty. I am having a B20 put in as well as some linkage work done but the other work needed on the suspension is where I could use some collective advice from the "experienced ones" out there.

I found an article in the VClaccics archive that explains how to replace bushings and ball joints that is suppose to be possible for the shade tree mechanic. Unfortunately these instructions are for most Amazon and 1800S models and is says, PV's are quite different.

Are there similar articles with procedures for the PV that would include the total front end and the rear end?

I was not planning on the expense of replacing the engine, so I would like to do as much suspension work myself otherwise that car won't be road worthy for anything other than the short trips to get bread and milk a long time. Very humiliating for a PV to be a "bread and milk" car.

Any help, as always is really appreciated.
Dennis
