1987 240 wagon trailer hitch
Does anyone know what trailer hitch will fit a 1987 240 wagon? Mine did not come with one and none of the junk yards around me have any volvos with them on. I was curious if anyone has bolted a different trailer hitch assembly on? Or close matches?
thanks, Sam |
I've always used Drawtite hitches, they still sell new ones that fit 240s, also for 7/9's sedans and wagons. afaik, each of these is a different hitch. hitches are too critical to mess around with, $150 or whatever for a new one with new hardware that bolts right up is fine by me. you'll definitely need a 1/2" socket set and torque wrench. if your 25 year old car has never had a hitch, you'll want to chase the threads out before you try and install the hitch. I used a knife to scrape out a bunch of the undercoating from the threads (the 4 'nuts' are captive welded into in your rear subframe), sprayed some WD40 up them, and ran one of hardened bolts that came with the hitch reciever up and down each hole a couple times before I even tried to install the hitch, and it went a WHOLE lot easier. I forget if you need to trim the rear valance on a 240 to fit these, you certainly do on a 740/940.

if you're interested
I have a receiver hitch and ball from a 92 960 in CT. The receiver subframe is still attached and has the multipin connector. (I don't know if that's any good). PM if you're interested.

the 960 one won't fit on a 240.
