Now, get out there and inspect yours! |
Lucky you, an opportunity to remove a ton of grit and grime without doing any cleaning.

Looks familiar. Going to weld it?

You can drill a small hole (1/8") at the end of each crack, to relieve the tendency for the crack to travel further. Then keep it under observation.
After repair (by welding or replacement w/ upgraded crossmember), you can add these crossmember reinforcements, shown in green in this first photo: http://forumbilder.se/images/7d2009115249P1118.jpg Should still be available from Volvo http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...c/IMAG0155.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...c/IMAG0156.jpg Vadis diagram: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/%7Edr...latesvadis.jpg These came standard on 960s, so maybe you can find some at a JY. |

I really enjoyed the quality photos of cracks+the repairs in this great thread. I went through it several times, saying `what the hell... is it soo common?` then I decided to see my crossmember... I`ll take your advice: drill, weld, inspect again... while I will be trying to locate a pick-and-pull junkyard nearby. Thank you for the quick answer, it is very helpful! |
Excellent info on the part numbers for the factory fix. Thanks.

Hi Ngoma, Casio,
great to know that the 16V crossmember is an option for us. Is it a true bolt-in design which means no welding or fabrication will be needed? Thanks a lot |
No welding or fabrication required. You will need to transfer the right side engine mount angled base from your old crossmember. Again, bolt-in.
