i have a 1995 volvo 850. i recently replace the suspension in the front. change the sway bar link, sway bar bushing, outer tie rod end, struts, also change upper spring seat kyb. the brand of the struts where monroe. the car has a noise as it has no suspension at all in the front. as it goes into holes it shows no suspension. it makes a laud noise and i have check everything and i don't really know what it can be. i took the car to the mechanic he said he is going to check the struts. can it be that the struts are no good. can somebody give an idea who has had this problem before. thank you

It COULD be the struts:
As you said when you go into holes, its like you have no suspension at all. It COULD the the arm: As you said given the noise, which may point to worn bushings, or even a bad ball-joint. |
