    I just bought these from the Wish site. I think they were identical to some I bought here in the US for like 5x the price. They fit the virgos I restored.

    Looking for some help on the proper install of the rear anti-sway bar. There is a bolt with a very thin top. Should this go behind the control arm and then through the anti sway bar. I don't see how it can because the ball joint is in the way. Is the back of the sway bar just supposed to...

    240 Parking brake assembly write-up?

    Anyone know of a good write up with pics of the parking brake assembly on late model 240s. Both the green books and the Bentley manual show earlier models with the dial adjuster and not the newer set ups. I'm having a hell of a time getting it back together correctly.

    Does anyone know if there is a problem with using the connectors in the photo to wire car wires? I'm rewiring a new connector for the melted main headlight relay plug. It seems to work fine, but I wanted to make sure before I put it all back together.
