Carnage

Spent a bit of time last weekend, yesterday, and today working on the 850s rear suspension. Its a marvel of engineering and packaging, and also awful.

The last picture shows Volvo’s special tool in action. Its good but not perfect and I had some issues getting it to work - there are 2 holes in the control arm you could align it with, but it works best when you use the correct one (thats what she said)(giggity). I also did the inboard links, which are not shown, but were much easier.

Ive got the drivers side done, and the passenger side out. Im taking a water break because its 95°F out and I don’t want to get dehydrated. Ill go out soon and press the new link in, then start buttoning things up. After this is done I’m going to redo the AC system and thats it for me.
