Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

Maybe some info for those who are interested. My TGB11 was leaning to the left and the front was lower than the back. As a matter of fact the only original height and clearance was in the back right. I contemplated ordering the springs from tatnka.nu, but after shipping, it was out of my price range...

PCV

Hello,

The B30A does not come with a PCV in the vent pipe between the camshaft case and the air filter case. Would it be advisable to add one in line, and if so, which one?

Thanks,

Marcus

Exhaust system

Hello, I want to update my exhaust mufflers and pipes. Does anyone know if there are comparable parts here in the US that work? Had a muffler shop look at mine and he mumbled something about generic VW mufflers and that it doesn't matter so much if it is the exact and original Volvo mufflers and pip...

Re: Front axle not engaged?

Thank you all for your responses, here and via PM. The issue was that the VTG needed adjustment, as the nuts that help the membrane move the pushrod were not tightened after all those years. Lucky, that was a cheap fix.

Re: Front axle not engaged?

Thank you Ian. The issue is, that it will not engage in 4 wheel with the front axle. I thought that 4 wheel is the fail safe default, yet it is not powering the front wheels when 4 wheel is turned on.

Front axle not engaged?

I am not sure if my front wheel drive is working. Although the light is on when I push the button, and the steering feels heavier (hard to say), the rear wheels are spinning faster than the front wheels. The question is: Do the front and rear axles rotate at a different speed in all wheel? It might ...

Re: Leaning towards the driver's side

Thanks guys, all you input in very much appreciated. Was hoping the shocks were the reason, as that's the cheaper option.

Leaning towards the driver's side

Well, here is a question for the TGB11 specialists.....

I have heard, and that includes mine as well, that some TGB11s are leaning to the left. Before I am getting crazy on buying new springs and shocks, I'd like to understand why that might be.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Marcus

Re: Shocks

I am also looking for shocks. What was your reason to go with those shocks? I am wondering if going with the original shocks that it came with would be not as good. I know Tatanka is selling them as a cheaper option.

Thanks,

spare Parts State Side

I am looking for leaf springs and brake shoes/drums. I was wondering if anyone knows of a part option state side, as I wanted to save some money on the shipping from Sweden.

Thanks,

Marcus
