lower arms

[JT]

does any know if the lower arms off a v70will fit an 850??

jt

[iGGy]

Kind of a yes and no answer.

850 diesel and I think cars supplied to the Police use the four bolt mounting to the subframes that is the standard type on V series up to 2000.

You need to check your car to see if it has the standard 850 two bolt mounting or the upgraded four bolt type.

this is the subframe I will be using, so i guess the 2 bolt type????

[Alan M]

Yes the two bolt type.

[JT]

so the answer is no then? lol

[iGGy]

That subframe uses the older two bolt style. Due to the potential of getting the wrong arms, you need to make it clear when purchasing that it is the two bolt style or if it is a private sale, get the seller to send you a picture of them just to be sure.

Modify some 850 lower arms to accept removeable balljoints. That way its easier all round.

iv got a couple of arms with nackered inner bushes ,if your fitting polly bushes then it wont matter,the swivel joints are good.

how much do u want for those?

[Alan M]

I have some arms I can modify JT if you want that route opened up. I would need to order the balljoints in first so money to cover the balljoints and machining to the arms would be required if you send me your old arms to replace the ones I have. I would do the lot for £55 all in depending on balljoint price it wouldn't be much more. Postage will be on top.

[JT]

you wouldn't want my old arms! lol
