Front suspension issues on the s80

Nov 16th, 2003, 04:40

Just wondering if other s80 owners have had to replace their front swaybar links or ball joints on their cars? I have been through 4 sets of sway bar links and 2 sets of ball joints. I love the car, but the front end parts seem flawed.
There was a recall on the ball joints on my 2000 s80 early on, but that is the last I have heard.
Just curious if anyone else has had this experience.

I am considering contacting the regional representative and seeing if I can get some satisfaction. Maybe replace my s80 front end with s60R parts (fi they are any different).

By the way, does anyone elses sun roof rattle? All my rubber is intact, I have had it serviced 4 or 5 times, the glass replaced 3 times and the track replaced 3 times. Just curious.

I did have the ball joints replaced based on the recall notice. Since then I have had them replaced again along with swaybar links (4 times). I wonder if the "R" type S60 swaybar links and ball joints are different than the standard S80? This could a fix.
