I'm sorry if this looks like a double post but I didn't know how to delete my previous posting. I looked up torque values at http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/faq/FrontSuspension.html#TorqueValues but I still am left a little confused with the wording about the sway bar. My control arm looks a little different than the picture as well. Would anyone know why Volvo used both styles during production? For the tie rods, there is no torque value, I just need an accurate ruler to measure 42mm between the outer washers? Also, this is probably the most important question of all, how do you properly break loose the ball joints for the control arm and steering rack? My father tells me you need to shock it free with a hammer, and jack up on the strut if need be, but is there any other way? I haven't been able to free up the control arm ball joint (under the strut) on any of my family's volvos.
