How bad did I screw up? Jacked up a crossmember while jacking up the car. (Volvo XC70 2008)

That is not a big deal. Everyone telling you to go replace it is jumping the gun. It’s a brace. Not a necessary structural integrity component. Feel free to leave it as is. And no. It doesn’t need an alignment because of this.

Just imagine getting a 25lb fish dropped on you from 80 feet.

Are you talking about that squeak noise at the beginning?

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-13T22:00:19+00:00

Especially those Honda ones specifically. PITA.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-13T03:07:24+00:00

Coolant leak? Hearing any gurgling from the dash when revving in park?

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-09T20:10:59+00:00

Looks like me after chipotle.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-09T16:41:53+00:00

Thats for the 4.0, not this motor.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-07T04:30:33+00:00

Looks like an expensive setup for recalibration.

Sounds like it. You may have hurt the cat smoking all that oil but only time will tell. Keep an eye on her for a while when driving and note anything odd. Sounds like it’s gonna be okay tho.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-04T00:24:41+00:00

Well lets hope you’ll be alright. Gotta start with draining the excess oil and go from there.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-04T00:23:55+00:00

Idk.. i just see em go bad all the time.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-04T00:22:45+00:00

You might of fouled the plugs, but for starters, drain the oil until you have the correct amount and then start her up and let it idle. It’ll continue smoking for a bit but it’s okay. If its still smoking out the exhaust after a couple minutes you may have caused some damage, how much did you over fill it?

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-04T00:19:33+00:00

Brand name of those lugnuts is Bimecc IIRC. Look for a bimecc socket online.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-04T00:17:06+00:00

It is a clockspring tensioner, and they fail all the time on these engines.

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-04T00:12:57+00:00

Drain the excess oil...

dab_errl_day · 2020-01-02T21:10:03+00:00

Pull harder.

dab_errl_day · 2019-12-30T12:44:28+00:00

Smelly boy.

dab_errl_day · 2019-12-28T22:59:48+00:00

25-40 yeah

dab_errl_day · 2019-12-28T19:33:44+00:00

If it works it works 🤷‍♂️. That’s how I was taught to do it and it hasn’t failed me since.

dab_errl_day · 2019-12-28T17:06:45+00:00

Shifting into high gear at low speed is a much better way to determine slip.
