- It´s been a long time, but I'm finally back with another Volvo 740 video!
In this video the Volvo get's some new lowering springs.
I will also show some of the rust proofing. This was actually a very lenghty process, sorry for not including more of it, but with the limited time frame I just wanted the project to move forward.
Hope you enjoy the video guys!

As a long-time Volvo owner (P1800, 245, 960, XC70) who does all my own work, love the series!
If it was me, even with a "budget" project, would have assumed the rubber spring cushions etc. needed replacement, and ordered them along with the springs... And washed out / relubed the strut bearings, while you had them out!
Subscribed for more... Keep up the good work! -DC
As a fellow Volvo 740 owner, I love this series! Subbed!
Thank you very much!
If you own one of these excellent Cars, keep it. The engineering and the quality is brilliant and Most of the DIY Jobs are easy to do. Our 740 Kombi will never BE for sale
Yes I feel the same for this one! 👍
Since you're doing the springs, was surprised you didn't change the shocks as well.
Hi bro - from Baku Azerbaijan - Absheron Peninsula/ Very good jobbb 🤞🤞✌
Thank you bro! 😁🙏
Four Videos, four Times good Work. Thank you.🙂
Excellent methodical approach to all your videos. Very impressed by your attention to detail. Learning lots of helpful info for my own Volvo 940 project
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
SUPER VOLVO I LOVE THIS ONE V6 740
I enjoy watching your repair work on the car and your approach. Quite a daunting task, even on the surface it's quite a survivor. Great to see you save the car.
Thank you very much. 😊
Ejo, great job, got no words to say how much I enjoy seeing alllll episodes of this wonderful car. Congrats!
Awesome tutorial on how to change the parts and save money
Thank you so much, Enrique.😊
Greetings from Alabama!
Awesome car you have there. Thank you for a nostalgic video!
Thank you sir for watching!
Gillar verkligen dina videos. Tydliga och intressanta, lärande 👍😄
Tack så mycket! 😁
I recently bought my first 945 turbo, i have no mechanical experience whatsoever, so these videos are helping me alot! great videos, really appriciate it!
Glad to read that! 😊👍
Respect, like to see this
Thank you! :)
I just bought these same springs! Thanks for this insightful video. It’ll make my install a lot easier.
Nice
Hello. I enjoy very much the videos you are doing and the way you are working on the car. Keep up the good work and hope to see more of your projects. Already subscribed. Many thanks !
Love you content!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I use Miracle Paint for those kind of rust repairs. Seems to work and nothing I have treated has shown any rust, despite not removing absolutely every bit of it. I can highly recommend that product.
Thank you for the tip! :)
@@ejoautovideos Yea I mean it's a great product. Sticks to surfaces like I have never seen before. Can be painted over too. Just rub down the surface first.
I owned a few of these volvos they were great cars.
They are fun to work on for sure. Built like tanks they are!
Älskar dessa videorna
Tack! 😊
Love your series. Intelligent and precisely instructive. As I said in another of your videos, I am facing the same work on my 945. Inspiring and helpful. Thanks.
Really appreciate it, thank you so much. 😊
Question? why not everything is covered in rust removed with a sandblaster and then put in matte black paint ?
I once did it with my Renault 25 TXE sometime in the 90s, a good friend of mine once proposed and also carried it out, after work was done, the bottom looked and everything that had been slightly rusted was like new again.
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it because my friend forgot to do it and at the time that didn't always happen to capture something with a camera, which I regret now, ha ha
Still a very good job you have done so far!!
You can skip the spring compressor step on the front end if you just unbolt/rebolt the strut when the car is on the ground.
Thanks for the video, just watching you work under there helps me learn a lot. Just picked up an 89 wagon.
Subscribed!
Riktigt bra video! Lärorikt och intressant.
Tack så mycket, uppskattas! 😊
Oh wow, 15:20 rust pile is not something we have to deal with here in north Texas. Just a little rust. Nothing like what you have to deal with.
Hehe yeah the rusting makes every job take 3x longer to do 😝
Trevlig kanal och mycket mer detaljerat än många andra 🤘
Tack så mycket! Blir himla glad av att läsa det! 😁
You make it look easy! Hoping to get a volvo in the next year or so, so seeing stuff like this is really useful!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Which Volvo model are you looking to get?
@@ejoautovideos anything rear wheel drive :D would love a 240, but budget probably means it'll be a 940, they seem to be pretty cheap and fairly common in the UK
Great job but you should replace the brake plate otherwise you will get all the grit ,sand and muck go on your brake pads which will affect your braking in time.
Yes, I'll replace them next time the hub comes off. :)
Vad roligt det är att följa din kanal och renoveringen av din Volvo. Utmärkta kameravinklar, Bra tempo i videon, pedagogisk och du pratar utmärkt engelska! För en kontorsråtta som mig som vill lära mig mer om men är detta en guldgruva. Heja dig!!
Uppskattas enormt! Tack för din kommentar! 😊
Väldigt intressant å rolig kanal, gillar att du är nogrann med det du gör å förklarar väldigt bra 😁
Tack så mycket! Uppskattar verkligen det! 😊
Hallo from Indonesian....#volvo740.
Mycket bra kanal👌 Gillar du visar allt så detaljerat.
Tack så mycket! 😁
my volvo 744 is like a $600 project
Love it
Mkt bra video Tack👍
Tack själv! 😊
bravo for your work :-)
Thank you very much!
@@ejoautovideos vert enjoy watching your details and care in all videos. This year my old 88 740 has a problem with its rear. When I jack up the rear, the rear wheels on both sides stay on the ground. What could be few possible causes for this problem ? Thanks.
I guess you know your '88 740 GL was built entirely with Zincrometal (zinc coated steel). So, when doing any repairs to the body panels, floor pans, etc. you have to use products that are compatible to zinc coated steel. Btw, your dash has the exact same cracks that my '90 740 GL has. Go figure! lol
Yes I know. 😊
Yes, a very common issue with the 740 unfortunately.. :/
What kind of products would that be
@@ricky107_ Products that state on the label that they are compatible with zinc coated steel. I recently used a primer that stated on the label that it was compatible with galvanized metal and zinc coated steel. Glad I could help.
im fronm indonesia l bought 740gle last month, and the major problem came from fuel distribution, that part are very difficult to find at market, but thanks anyway for your project
knotted wire brush for the angle grinder and away with this rust....may be sand blast afterwards...then rust converter....after all paint with 2k paint...and then finally grease it with wire rope grease....and use the car the next 30 years
Great tips! 👍
Thanks mate! i need to do the same work on mine too.
Awesome, glad this video can help! 😊
@@ejoautovideos yes it does!
As a fellow 740 owner, subbed! I wish parts were cheaper for me but it's painful to ship to Singapore haha. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Yes, I've heard owning a car in Singapore is super expensive?
Like the project! 👍 Friendly tip though, spring compressors are unnecessary in the rear, just loosen the top bolt for the shocks on both sides, and you can lower the rear axle far enough so that the spring can be removed. 🙂
Thank you :)
Yes I know, I mentioned in the video why I didn't go that route.
@@ejoautovideos turns out I'm not paying attention then 😅
Really don't see the point in changing the springs and not changing the shocks, especially with MacPherson struts.
Usually yes, but this is a 50 dollar car.
Did you sell it?
16:51 Visserligen kan fälgen en gång i tiden suttit höger bak. Men ha blivit en Vänsterhjul när man bytte däck. Men det är alltid noga att kontrollera rullriktningen.
Jo precis, tänkte på det också.
@@ejoautovideos Vill bara förtydliga att jag inte försökte vara spydig eller göra mig lustig på din bekostnad.
How did your 740 GL pass a government inspection with such a huge hole in the floor pan? Don't they check for such things?
The big hole illustrated in one of the videos was after me cutting up a big portion of it. Prior to that it was actually very hard to spot, so yes, the inspectors missed it. 🤷♂️
@@ejoautovideos Lucky! lol
Were those shocks and struts still good?
Front shocks will need replacement soon. Should have ordered them with the springs in hindsight.
Vart har du din lokal och hur mycket kostar den / mån?
Nice catch with the bolt bro. Hey I know you have answer this before but can you let me know the link of that jack and whether it is safe to get under it? Thanks.
Hehe thanks :)
Here you go: verktygsboden.se/servicelyftar/servicelyft-3-000-kg-elspaerrar?vat=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI55v_sqrn5gIVjA8YCh2H6gQuEAQYASABEgK8JvD_BwE
They are safe to be under as long as you follow all safety precaution.
please tell me how low the springs were,so i can get a good reference on the springs im thinking of getting!
King Springs SL (-30mm Height)
Bra video! Hur vet man om det bara fjädrarna som ska bytas eller om dämparna behöver bytas med?
Hi! Perfect video! Where you buy the lowered springs?
Thank you!
On a Swedish site called www.skruvat.se :)
@@ejoautovideos hi man! very good video thnks!!
do you know if this place send to south america??
im in Uruguay and i buy a 740 but i have to buy lot of stuff but here there are a few 740 so i dont have where to buy new things
thnks again and very good video!!
@@juanlopez-qy2rw thank you Juan :)
Unfortunately I don't think they ship to South America :/
Tjena! Hur är komforten med fjädrarna? Förstår att det är stor skillnad jämfört med original. Men är det väldigt styvt/hårt? Är det stor skillnad på t.ex motorvägskörning?
Bra video förresten!
Tackar!
Det är verkligen inte för hårt eller något, tycker fortfarande att den känns som en båt! 😂 och det säger jag även nu när jag har sänkt den ytterligare någon centimeter i fram och nya dämpare.
@@ejoautovideos Tack för snabbt svar!
Okej hahah det låter bra! Jag ska nämligen beställa nya dämpare, tänker att jag kan passa på att byta fjädrarna också när jag ändå håller på 😊
первым делом что нужно было сделать, это помыть её как следует снизу.
Where did you get the caliper?
Hi, where can i get those springs from ? Thank you !
Well not shure but I think they are the v part lowering springs
Gillar din videos, får man fråga vart i landet du befinner dig?
Tack så mycket! Uppsala :)
Are you planning on doing any performance mods?
I'm actually thinking about that a lot. Maybe NA tune this enginge or engine swap.
.. or just leave it as is to keep it as a reliable stock car that is also very fun in the snow. 😊
@@ejoautovideos you can always just do something g light like exhaust and intake it will give the car a little bit more power but still keep it reliable
where did you get the springs?
Skruvat.se 😊
Did this lower the car?
Yes this kit is suppose to lower it 40/40 front/rear. However, in hindsight I should have gone for 60mm in the front. I still think it sits to high in the front.
Ok, takk takk
@@ejoautovideos love the videos it shows how to do different tasks, I myself have a 1988 760 turbo, black with tan interior, leather interior , I believe this model has the multilink suspension.
It*s like a good way on how to do maintenance, & how to keep these cars going for a long time, I myself like to do as much work as possible to keep these classic cars going, that is why I wait patiently for your next how to video, it*s very informative, entertaining you learn how to do different tasks.
Sad you don't follow up on the budget.. :/
What lift do you have?

Doy link... Excelente
Who thumbed this down? Jealous Saab owners?
Hehe 😂
Not a torque wrench in sight?
Funderat på att beställa ny regplåt? Kostar inte mycket och gör ganska stor skillnad! :)
Yep, tänkte nog faktiskt göra det härnäst! :)
Grymt! Bra jobbat med videorna 👍👍
