Volvo made both the 960 and S90 in 1997, so I’m never quite sure where to post my questions because I don’t know if the 1997 960 and the 1997 S90 are exactly the same mechanically or almost the same or what. So I’m posting this problem in both the 960 and S90 sections.

Our 1997 S90 has developed a clunk in the front end when we hit small bumps in the road. It sounds like my 240 did when one of the rear A-arm bushings was bad. Any particular things tend to go out first on these cars? I’m thinking A-arm bushings, ball joints, strut tower connections under the hood, maybe tie rods. The car only has 103k on it and looks like it was well cared for. Would the information in the 700/900 FAQ section apply to a 97 S90?? Does anyone have any suggestions?
