Lowering The Sub-Frame
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Volvo V70, 2006 Volvo V70, 2005 Volvo V70, 2004 Volvo V70, and 2003 Volvo V70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Position the mobile jack lightly applied under the left side of the sub-frame. Remove the front and rear screws from the sub-frame.
Carefully lower the frame a little. Check that the screws for the steering gear release from the frame and the control arm releases from the ball joint. Lower the sub-frame completely and let it hang free.
