Front discs
Has anyone changed the front brake discs?
I've changed discs and pads on all my previous cars and I'm assuming it's a similarly easy task. Is there anything I need to watch out for? |

RE: Front discs
Changed the front discs recently on my S40, no problems. Just make sure the discs fit evenly against the hub and do not run "out of true"

RE: Front discs
Haven't actually bought the discs/pads as yet. Was going to get them from Euro Car Parts. Have bought from them before and never had any quality problems. I know my local garage (non-Volvo actually an Alfa speciallist) uses them. Like always will check Volvo OE prices.
