Re: Inner roof lining - Removal
Hi all.
Here's an update of the removal of the headlining.
Tonight, I removed the headlining by following the guides and tricks I got from you guys, and it was quite easy when I did bend the bows.
It was great to get to the point of removing it
Have a great night.
Regards.
Peter

Re: Left front wing trim moulding - 3278489
Hi Tom. Great to hear. I will be looking forward to hear from you. If you have the trim moulding, I will buy it from you right away ;-) BTW: You are right about the "bananabox". I have an excel sheet containing all the parts (partnumbers) which I have. It tells me which part, condition, quantity and...

Re: Noisy when turning left
Hi again.
Yes, that's correct.
In my case it was not a new exhaust issue, but a worn engine mount.

Re: Noisy when turning left
Hi again. Found the problem in the late summer last year. It was the engine mount in the right side that was worn.... It was too loose and when turning left the front exhaust pipe hit the front suspension and that's what made the noise.... I had a pair of new mounting (the org. ones made from rubber...

Both Loose on the table and installed :D I'm looking forward to see this kit, as my R-sport could use some new leaf bushings soon :shock: Regards everyone /Peter

Re: Camber readings (right side is off)
have you tried wobbling both front wheels around as i said earlier? Yes i have.... Nothing seems broken or unusual :-( I have made an arrangement with a local Volvo wizard (not volvo dealer)... Then at least there are some other eyes on the case. Thanks all for the inputs.. I'll let you know when I...

Re: Camber readings (right side is off)
If the camber is out the bottom of the wheel must be further in, or the top further out. If you have rubbing noise when turning left I would guess that the bottom is further in. You say its not rubbing, but why is it making noise then? Don't forget the suspension will be depressed on the right when...
