1984 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"Extremely well built and worth keeping"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Got the car as a gift recently. Only problem is badly worn tie rods, but the tie rod ends seem okay.
Hand crank shaft for the sun roof is shot, but I'll figure out how to replace that.
General comments?
Very roomy and feels heavier than it actually is.
Not impressed with the cumbersome seat reclining mechanism.
The car, for it's age, handles and drives well considering the bad tie rod.
