:puzzled: Please forgive my english - my first language russian and ukraine :)
Thinking - probably bad idea use my native language to write here :right:
Story time - own V90 1,5 years. 1998 year , just turned 105 000.
This summer already done engine crankshaft rear oil seal - paid just 450 .
Three years ago have done same job for my 850 GLT - price paid 1100...
My V90 have been had front lower control arms rear bushing in dead conditions.
In my plan - just reinstall bushing can fix it very easily ( i'm DIY from former USSR , where every car owners had little garage in the trunk :gitara: )
Long story short - life always give correction against your plains.
Have been far away from home, and bushing just crashed aparts - no way drive at all...
Only available option for me - aftermarket arms . 95.00 each
They ordered and installed.
Two day after back to home founded that front wheels looks funny : top both front wheels have been inclined inside ( it's leaning in from the center of the car - then the camber is negative )
Have been done Wheel Alignment , but still....
AND : THE ORIGINAL CONTROL ARM MADE FROM ALUMINIUM, AFTERMARKET FROM CAST IRON...
Parts number same, but again...
Any idea? Did i miss anything?
Thanks.

Front tires started loose thread outside of the wheels.
What's wrong ? Any idea ?
