Where to purchase new nuts + Bolts

['88740GL]

I'm wanting to change my anti-roll bar link rod, and i need the replacement bolts as the old ones are going to snap more than likely, i can't seem to locate any on braydons volvo parts (infact, quite a few things arent listed on there...

Any tips on removing stubborn rusted nuts and bolts, i might need to cut a rusted on bolt with a dremel and try and tap out the remainder of the bolt with a hammer + lots of WD40...I've never done this before and would like some advice please :-)

Thank you!

Hold on a minute, I think we may have understood each other, on this picture, are the bushings you want to replace blue and clamped to the chassis, or black and connect between the end of the anti roll bar and the suspension arm?

Hi, both sets, you have just mentioned! and i need the nuts and bolts as they will twist off i rekon, also is the blue one going to be a 21mm or the 19mm one?

Thanks!

Hi, to avoid confusion, these are the bushes i wish to replace, the circled red ones, the yellow arrow is a bolt i want to replace thats holding the anti roll bar link rod onto the lower point as arrowed, i see theres a bush on this part too, i'm going to replace that too.

Thanks!

Thats unusual , all the 740 & 940 main bolts i have dealt with over the years have been still like new , protected with proper underseal and plating ,unlike todays volvos which bolts can look 10 years old in 3 !

Its had a hard life, it used to be on a farm, the left to sit unloved on only drove 400-1000 miles per year.. it explains its low mileage of 46,000 miles on it

ahah! got you now. The bolts should all be fine, it's just surface rust. They may take a little bit of effort to move initially, but the threads will be in good condition.

Drop link (should include replacement bushings, washers and a nut to go on the end.

To get the right size for the other bushing, measure the diameter of your anti roll bar, it should be either 19mm or 21mm.
