Wheel alignment results OK? 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be Niel on  Sun Jun 27 23:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I will have to look at the springs and shock absorbers to see if they are OK, because my car definately does not want 34 PSI. Much better at 24 PSI, and my service book says that you should never go over 30 with either radial or crossply. It recommends 20 and 23 - 26, which makes for a nice ride for me. It actually lists too high pressure as a possible cause of wheel bounce, which is what I'm getting. The car was in South Africa for most of it's life and now in New Zealand for 3 years. In SA it was almost impossible to find parts, and in NZ at least it is easy to import (Volvo started here with the 240 only). So I'm slowly replacing original parts, although the car has done only 116 000km (72k mi). It was also in storage for about 7 or 8 years, perhaps longer. But I'm now getting to the point of replacing with performance parts rather than service parts. You should have seen those original drive shaft u-joints...
