Question about Volvo 340/360 suspension parts

Post by Marius98 » 28 Jun 2015 01:36 am

Hello, guys :) I have a question: do Volvo 340's parts fit in 360's suspension? Because I want to buy a 360, but it's not the best one, with some rust etc..And I want to buy a spare one 340, for parts. Is that a good idea? Thanks!

There is quite a bit of commonality, but the struts have different angles for the different weights I think.

1984 360 GLT______1987 360 GLT

The later 360 struts have lugs for the anti roll bar to fix to. You can weld the lugs onto 340 struts.
Running gear is mostly differnt but the 340 is certainly still worth having for parts

The 360 ones have an extra bit that the stabiliser things connects to, too?
