Hi guys, new to this forum. Hope you all can help me out with some advice. I have a 1998 v70 torslanda 2.5 10v fwd estate. I'm about to order parts to totaly replace the front shocks. Everything needs replaced with them even the 2 bolts connecting the shocks to the steering knuckle ( poor girl just didn't get any tlc from her past owners ) Would any one know where i could order the bung stops for them. Just 1 other quick question , how easy is it to replace the front wheel bearings? Any help or advice would be very welcome

You may be doing this work yourself, but if not Simon Chambers of Beechhill Garage off the Saintfield road is an ace Volvo guy. And he can probably source whatever bits you need at a competitive price. Tel 9070 4040

Thank's simon for your reply. Will be doing the work myself ( glutton for punishment ) but thank you for the phone number will make a note of it just incase i come across something i can't deal with

Yeah, it's worth having his number to hand. He's very good and easy to pay. And by way of recommendation, you'll often see the odd Lotus or Ferrari in his workshop.
