Nice. Congrates!

 

did you replace the rubber spring seats in the back? thats about 1/2" worth.

 

No we didn't. Actually didn't know about them until we were in the middle of the process but that's a great idea pierce. We'll have to order some that's not too bad of a quick job

Thanks

I should have suggested it earlier, but you should consider doing the camber mod. I just did it on my own car, and its extremely simple to do. You just need a proper drill bit and a Dremel with a grinding tip. There's a number of descriptions of the mod online. In my case, I drilled a hole in the strut tower as it was by far the easiest method and its even a method Volvo recommended to dealers to respond to customer complaints about uneven front tire wear.

I didn't go crazy with the camber, but it should be just enough to address the tire wear issue without making my car look look funny with tilted front wheels. I prefer the OEM look.

The result is even tire wear (I'm assuming, as I have barely driven the car with the new mod), better turn-in, and even better steering feel in my opinion.

 

Any part numbers IPD doesn't seem to offer rear spring seats on their site; upper or lower.

Thanks

I just wanted to post my story for anyone in the Chicago area. I moved to Chicago, 2 1/2 years ago driving a 1999 S70 Volvo. I went on line and found a gentleman at Volvochicago@live.com!! He has been so great, let's me know when I need to change something in the next couple months. Not like dealership where they want to do everything at once! His prices are really reasonable and I take my car to his house. I was out of town and my car broke down, I text him and he had me tow it to his house. I just rolled over 226,000 miles(drive a lot for my job) He told me he could keep it going till 300,000!! That makes me happy!!

 

the lower spring seat is 1329986. at the top, its not a seat, its the stack of hardware used to mount the spring, i see a washer, a donut thing, another washer, and the spring anchor, plus the stud and nut.
