It was pretty easy actually. I thought the IRS would droop too far since I couldn't see any stops for it anywhere. So I jacked the rear up, took off the tire and supported the trailing arm. I took the old one off and put in the new. I attached the top mount but the bottom was tough, since it is new and gas filled it was quite stiff. So I let the trailing arm down. Lo and behold, it went doen far enough for me to easily out the lower mount in with no problem.

These are not the dreaded Nivormats so they were fairly cheap. Aftermarket pats are not available. I tried Gabriels from a local jobber but the lower mounts were too small. Be warned, use Volvo shocks.

The shock code is contained on the plate on top of the radiator, 5th line, 4th character. My 4th line was blank. IE, 031Y35a, 'Y' is the shock code.

It only took about an hour and whie I had the tires off and the car in the air, I tightened all the bolts I could see, size 17mm and 18mm.

That's all for now.

Next task, tie rod ends on the 740T.
