Don't get me wrong being an Engineer I love pulling things apart and rebuilding them but I do know when sometimes it's better to hand the task to someone who has the right facilities. I still lack the four poster (car lift not bed), engine hoist and forgiving wife.
Doing a bit of research I have also found out the cross brace is not on all V40s/S40s. Anybody know if this was a feature only on the sport models or did it come in later on P2 vehicles? (Runs between the rear mounts of the lower wishbones)
Not fitted to Ph1 cars, but introduced on Ph2. The Ph2 suspension is completely different with few interchangeable parts, although at first glance the two phases look the same.
