One small victory

Suspension rods, don’t you try your luck with me. 🙂

Shorter suspension rods resistance

These shorter suspension rods seem to give proper fight… Now lunch time and after that I will cut them to pieces since there seem to be no other way to get them out.

Volvo S40 T4 rear suspension rods

My dad has Volvo S40 T4 from year 2002 which currently have about 245000km under it’s belt. Some while ago I changed front shock absorber upper mounts and now its time to do something to the rear end. I will change all the rear suspension bars (dog bones), three both sides.

We are currently driving to Lappeenranta Motonet to get the parts. Based on their web page they should have those available in their shop.

Actual remove&replace will be done tomorrow or Monday if we get the parts.
