Bill,
If you have a 240 check the condition of the lower spring seats on the front
struts as they are prone to rusting out. I had a 1983-245 that had this
problem. Volvo makes a repair kit, for around $40, that consists of 2 zinc
plated replacement seats and instructions. No welding is required. Check
the condition of yours now as it would be a good time to replace them, if needed, as the springs will be removed.
