      They've been NLA for years. Word is he's got a new set in the works. I wouldn't hold a project up waiting for them.

    Nice. I did the same job on my 240 just a couple months ago. I have the same Corona wheels, FTW!

    What is the greenish goop your newly control arm is lathered in during install?

      I covered them in marine grease to help prevent corrosion during the Winter.

    Do you know if your local machine shop had the Volvo special tool to press-in the front bushing? I'm having difficulty getting mine in...

      I don't think they had any specialized Volvo tools; probably just using standard bushing drifts/press tools.

      The machint shop i used just had a press and used a socket to push the bushing out and in lol

    Do you know if the front 850 control arms fit our 240s?

      I wouldn't imagine so, but maybe there's someone on Turbobricks who has experimented with compatibility.
