Ok, I'm getting ready to do the upper shock mounts in the ol' 98 XK8. I figure I might as well replace evrything made out of rotten 12 year old rubber while I'm in there. Does anyone have a list of whats what so I can order it? Thanks.

 

Did you get the parts diagrams from the FAQ sticky squirrel?

All the bushings and parst numbers are there. Let me know if you can't find them.

Also, I spent $800 easy on just the parts and labor for upper/lower control arm rubber (should have been $1000 but the shop used the wrong labor chart), when it would have been cheaper/WAY easier to just get new control arms WITH the bushings on it. Just a thought.

 

Labor is all on me, I do everything myself. What do those control arms run anyway? And I must still be drunk from St. Patties day cause I didn't it in the faq (shame on me )

 

SO i tried a dozen different searches in the faq and nothing comes up, at all, ever.

 

Ordered both front and rear suspension parts kits for the Volvo project today. Almost everything I took off needed replacing. The left front ball joint, that I had only recently replaced (16 year ago) was still tight but the rubber dust cover had badly deteriorated. The original (28 years) right side was still tight and the dust boot still intact.

New engine, new transmission, completely new brake system, new suspension and tires. Brand new 28 year old car.

 

Ok, nice try then...here ya go

 

Sigh, I suck. Thank you!

 

anytime buddy
