actually, Marvin is correct.
I remember when i had it first set, on a 3d (dual camera) machine, i had access to system computer and it was showing how to adjust camber on these 2 bolts on shock# 100% sure of this thing so.. temporary plan of action (that is- to be changed to suit the needs): possibly soon change both these balljoints, observe car behaviour afterwards- maybe ill get away without traction, maybe not if i do need traction after this, it will be around £50 at general garage 3 miles from home or around £70 at volvo independent 10 minutes walk from home then summer- if i still feel like it- change shocks, arms, droplinks, whatnot estimated cost of parts £400 (plus spring compressors) i feel confident that i can do it all myself after that- same machine, 3D traction on 4 wheels for around £20.. maybe £25(inflation) third year in a row turning up for the same thing.. they`ll look at me like i`m crazy explanation: 2017- inner steering joints replaced, traction after 2018- CV joint replaced, traction after 2019... i`m coooominnnggg!!

I replaced mine and the inner tie rod in my garage, one Friday morning last November. Quite a straight forward job if you are handy with tools and feel confident enough to do it. My ball joint was about £80 from Volvo, but as I did the track rod end and inner tie rod at the same time they came to about £270 all in. Still cheaper than just the quote from Volvo for the ball joint alone. Watch the FRP on YouTube. Volvo Control Arm & Ball Joint Replacement - No Press Needed! (S60, S80, V70, XC70, XC90).
That tool is a god send. |

I had a go at it on friday.
Didn't manage to insert new one in.. Looks like it was a fraction of mm bigger, and indeed, sitting quite low over the driveway, it didn't provide enough space for swinging the hammer.. Old (pictured in first post) ball joint turned out not to be damaged, too. The gaiter was whole, only slipped off the rod. Grease still in. So I put the gaiter the way it was supposed to be, and fitted old one back. No problems bashing this OBE back in. Maybe I wouldn't do that, but on this occasion I had some more time to inspect suspension, and I know I will need to strip it out kind of soon. So I'll change these ball joints on that occasion. It will be a lot easier with whole hub/shock assembly out. So.. Ball joints. Bushes on wishbones not quite there yet, but not far either, I'll try to attach some photos later. Spring dampers atop of shock absorber pretty much disintegrated from age. No spring cushion at the bottom of spring? I can't say are the droplinks good or not, but with their price, it is likely I'll be changing these anyway. And quite possibly shocks.. £150 for pair of Sachs' from Poland.. Good price?

but not the hub by itself. hub with shock as a whole brake calipper off, steering rod off, sensor out, CV out (was out anyway) these 3 atop wouldnt be a problem.. couldnt undo droplink.. getting some tools now: got extandable (220-430mm) ratchett next is some longer breaker bar and some half inch extensions

Are you certain that you have the right ball joint?
I seem to recall that there are two different diameters only mm apart?

You can tell by that the cone part of the shaft that meets the control arm is very different on the two ball joints so compare to the old one.
