HeadLights 900 1996

To Whom It May Concern,
I'm looking to purchase used L/R headlight assembly for a 1996 Volvo 960. The headlights that will fit my car is from year 1995-1997. Please e-mail me if you or, someone you know has a pair for sale.

I've had excellent results finding used parts for my 960 at www.car-part.com. This week I ordered a mirror from a salvage yard and it was on my doorstep three days later. How's that for convenience?

I don't have a solution for you about your headlights. I just noticed that you didn't provide your email address.

Good Luck.

Try ebay under 960 volvo and you'll be surprised what pops up, there's a shop thats parting out the motor and tranny for a 96, now that shows the wagon these parts came from.
Hope that helps

Thank you for your answer, thats why I post this message, my concern is the water pump pulley and the alternator are not aligned. Can you explain me why is this, or this is normal?

Thanks for any advice...

Edwin

Not normal. If both the pump and alt are level but the belts are angled, something's wrong. It appears alt is forward of pump.

Since you worked on the alt, check to see if something is bringing it forward. (I'd have to look at mine to see how it goes on.)

Alternator has 3 bushings.
2 on alternator (at bottom), easy to see.
1 on tension adjustment mechanism.

If bushing #3 on tensioner is old, alternator will be crooked - bad alignment.

2 bottom bushings should be pushed into holder from middle part, pointing out.
That is, front bushing points forward (large-diameter "shoulder" is at center-rear).
Rear bushing points backward (large-diameter "shoulder" is at center-front of holder).

This holds alternator at center of bolt space so it does not move forward to radiator

Thanks, I replace all bushings. The alternator dont move forward is tight. Do you thin the problem is on the water pump pulley?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the alternator on 960's have bushings.
