I guess that's what I'd like to know - Anyone out there that knows the compression rating of each color?

Just wondering if anyone knows the paint colors that Volvo brushed on the front springs of the 940's and what they mean? I guess it was their quick and easy way to identify spring stiffness. I've seen Blue, Red and Yellow on different 940's.

I just picked one up, at the local pick n pull off a '93 wagon, in great condition. And slid it into my '93 wagon with the plan to let it rest on my head and the passenger headrest while I drove home. But I ruined it by not reinforcing it with sticks or boards. It had a cut out for the...

Anyone heard of problems with the cloth strainer(filter) on the end of the inboard pump? I thought I read somewhere a guy was having similar fuel flow problems with a low fuel and a high fuel tank. Turns out the strainer was collapsing in a low tank and clogging the 'feed' to the pump.

I have a set of used b6's and b4's if you're interested?

Believe it or not but it could be the strut mounts. Volvo used different shapes and thicknesses during the 749/940 run and I noticed up to an inch of difference between some. Or, if yours is a '91 SE it had nivomats in the rear and those springs are much softer than normal springs.

I have a '93 Turbo 940 Wagon also and I had a transmission leak also. Turned out to be the front seal and this fixed it within minutes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S21FYS9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I just placed an ad for some 940 suspension parts and could not find a way to insert a picture. Any ideas? Thanks

Exactly. It works on seals not gaskets. Most people think they're similar problems.

I didn't get paid anything and it worked like a charm.

Just so you know, it's not a typical stop leak. It actually re-hydrates the seals so they can stop leaking. He explains it here: These too:

Right - a lot of different springs but they all had the same top(first) coil. Which is why any of those springs will fit these seats. I'm guessing that the later seats we're tapered to tilt the strut inward and reduce camber and stop wearing the outside edge of the tires. Which if you recall...

I've looked all over for any discussions on the upper spring seat(cushion) for 740/940/960 front suspensions, and found nothing. If you look up any part supplier for these cars(IPD, FCP, E Euro, etc) they all list the same part number. Which makes sense since it's basically the same chassis -...
