I think I need to name my car instead of repeating "I'm the new guy
with the 1987 Volvo 740 GLE". LOL
Right now I'll just call her the "Gold Brick" or something...
Anyway, because my car is with the mechanic and I won't have it for a
while, I am making a list of things to do in the future and one thing
is to replace the suspension. I'll do the tie rods, ball joints, radius
arm bushings, etc., but I also need to do the shocks/struts/springs.
I thought the car just had coilovers in the front and shocks in the
rear, but that doesn't seem the case.
Can someone please tell me two things:
1) If I want to replace what Volvo put on the car for suspension, what
must I need for the front, and what must I need for the rear?
2) If I want to spend just a FEW extra bucks (not many) and slightly
improve over factory suspension, what's a good recommendation.
NOTE: About the suspension, what's thrown me is that for the front I
just thought I had to buy 2 coilover assemblies - complete with strut
inside of a spring. Instead, the parts websites show struts, strut
inserts, springs, boots, all of the individual parts. I don't have a
clue without having my car here.
Thanks!
