Installing left/right drive shafts
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Install the drive shafts in the differential housing.
At the same time locate the stub axles on the spring strut. Install the screws loosely. The nuts will be installed later.
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage the boots and the sealing rings. Press in the drive shafts properly.
