My car isn't here right now -- broke the RH drive axle and needs a new control arm so I have to order the parts. Guy at volvo says it's a 2 bolt (and I'm sure he's right) but every time I search the part for a 98 S70 T5, it says it's the 4 bolt mount.

Can it indeed be a 2 bolt as he says?

Also -- just out of curiosity, what kind of labor charges can I expect for replacing the RH
axle and arm? (assuming that's the only damage).

Thanks kindly.

this one's a two bolt

 

98's are two bolts. FCP, IPD and Eeuroparts offer both the two and four bolt kind.

I am no mechanic, but it's not hard at all. I could do it in under an hour so the dealer is going to charge 1.5 hours to install whatever his rate is I don't know.

 

Thanks Fred. That's a big help.....need to replace the axle and control arm....hit a median very hard. Ordered the 2 bolt from Eeuroparts (love that place -- free shipping also).
Ordered the Scandisk (sp?) part....just 70 bucks.

Hopefully, nothing else was damaged (subframe?)....won't know till he can get it drivable first.

Been looking for a good used wheel on Ebay....anywhere else that may have one?
