Rear suspension This manual deals with the repair and maintenance of the Multi-link rear suspension on the Volvo 760 4-do0r/780. Volvos are sold in versions adapted for different markets. ‘These adaptations depend on many factors including legal, taxation and market requirements. This manual may therefore show illustrations and text which do not apply to cars in your country. Volvo owners planning to export their car(s) to another ‘country should investigate the applicable safety and ex- hhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be impossible to comply with these requirements.

The multiclink alignment specifications are very precise and specific alignment procedures may vary with the type of equipment used. It is strongly recommended that technicians who perform alignments are trained by the equipment manufacturer on the specific alignment equipment available at their respective service shops. The following procedure contains guidelines and specifications to perform an alignment to the multi- link regardless of the type of equipment used. Before measuring rear wheel alignment it is necessary to * Check rim out-of-true condition (wheel warp). Park vehicle in a straight ahead position. Check tire inflation pressures. Set up measuring equipment at all four wheels. Compensate for rim out-of-true condition. ¢ Lower vehicle to turntables. Remove lock pins from turntables. Wheels should be straight ahead and the parallel bars vertical. Rock vehicle to settle suspension. '* Depress brake pedal and keep in position with @ brake pedal lock. NOTE: Due to design differences, some 4-wheel alignment equipment measures in “minutes of arc” and others measure in “hundredths of a degree”. The following pages make ref- erence to both methods of dividing a degree. Formula: 60" (minutes of arc) = 1.0° (Degree) 1! (minute of arc) = 0.016° (Degree)Group 65 Rear suspension Rear wheel alignment Rear wheel alignment NOTE: Adjusting bolts must be turned only when aligning rear wheels.

This means that the toe-in is measured at various loads = various suspension positions. —1 Measure toe-in at different loads. Use previously described procedures to measure toe-in at normal load. Then measure toe-in with vehicle loaded so that lower link angle, measured with angle scale, is 8° an, Max. toe-in change per wheel must not exceed 3° (0.08"), In case of excessive toe-in change. Adjust by inserting spacers of different thickness between upper link and wheel bearing housing Volvo P/N Thickness 1387 758-4 Imm 0.04" 1.387 759-2 2mm 0.08" 1387 760-0, 3mm 0.12" 1.387 783.2 05mm 0.02" Excessive toe-out: increase spacer thickness.

Before track rod eccentric bolts are tightened, all other lower link and track rod connections must be: — first loosened — then retightened.
