I need some help. I just purchased a 1991 745 (my first Volvo) and I have a couple of questions regarding the brakes. When I push the brake pedal quickly, the car dives forward and also makes a slamming noise. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the rear brakes being out of adjustment, but I was wondering what you guys think.

Thanks.

    Bad front bushings and perhaps weak struts.

      Start saving your pennies and put new struts and shocks on. The diving is because the struts are weak.

      When my 740 had bad struts and shocks my dog couldn't set on anything solid because she would go flying if I applied the brakes. After I put new struts/shocks on she could set still. Major difference, now I get to do it all over again with my 240. good luck
