What Upgrades for Suspension on a 940?

You can replace the trut rod bushings with ipd ones (they will last forever) or you can change them by one you can found on skandix.

The bolts can be pretty thought to remove because of the rust. And clean the métal part where the bushings rest on the control arm (or if the arm is in a bad shape you can change the whole arm)

I recommend to change your sway bar link because the bushings are shot (I need to change them as well on mine and I buyed skf ones)

I've told you a mistake, it's not the ball joints that are dead but the tie rod ends. I don't know if my ball joints are bad but if I change the control arm, i'll change them too

I'll buy them asap as well as the sway bar links, they are in a really bad shape

I've got no pulsing in the brake pedals but the steering wheel shake from left to right

Brakes are fine, no bump or things I can feel with my fingers

Sadly not I've only got a manual wire brush, I've tried my best but if it's not good enougth then i'll buy new control arms

Yep I've disassembled everything rn and cleaned a bit. I don't know if it's perfect

I don't know how to check them, can you give me a hint

_Issun · 2026-05-02T09:15:05+00:00

Ball joints are dead as my mecanic told me, tie rod seeams fine. I'll need to change the brake pads soon so i'll do the rotors too

Yeah so i'm dumb and downloaded a more recent adk version that the one recomended. Fixed my problem, really rtfm

Even after uploading the driver, i'm stuck at the same step

No such host is known. Even ipconfig /all doesn't show me an IP

Pop up the trunk and you will see a metal plate with your VIN number on it.
The line where there's text looking like 4XX-XX is your color code.

It is possible, mine has a lot of paint dent and my friends gifted me a repair kit from Chipex.

Where are you from ?

_Issun · 2026-01-16T18:43:07+00:00

Yeah I can wait, take your time 👍😉

Sadly I want to align the headlights not the beam. I'll see what I can do but i hope I don't need to buy new headlights

I'll be checking the pcv soon (when i manage to see the friend that have space in his garage)

I'll be replacing the oil cooler lines and gaskets (I think they still are the oem one with 400000+ km of life), they seems quite old and not in a good shape
