Volvo 740 Rear End Rebuild, Rust Repair, Lift Kit and Trailing Arm Repair Pt. 1

In this episode, I remove the rear axle, suspension, fuel tank and rear subframe for restoration. I also perform quite a bit of rust repair to the rear floor pan, frame rails and rockers. Furthermore; I talk about this volvo 740's suspension lift. Everything will get put back together in the next episode.

My guy is a god damn magician. Bare feet, good humor and well fitting music. I'll be damned if he can't hot glue those rust holes real good too.

This is great content. Just the right balance of explanation and sped up work. Carry on, I think you are headed in the correct direction.

It is amazing to see how you guys in america just weld something from an old bumper or shock absorber into a control arm to repair or even improve it. In germany, if the car inspector sees that, he would instantly remove the license plate so you can no longe drive the car in traffic because it is a dangerous and illegal modification.
Best gegards from germany!

The differential is a G80 locker original to some 740s and 940s. Also, both the 740 and 940 come with live rear axles and the multilink independent suspension

[@fredriknyberg7388]

Barefoot welding and grinding that is a new one for me. Either way this video really made a good guide to change my rear axle! Thumbs up.

[@KallePaloheimo]

very nice video. oh boy that car is rusty. reminds me of my -99 nissan almera with 421tkm on it. it had 1/5 stars in crash test when it was new, so it was as safe as a wet cardboardbox. i always enjoy your goofing around at the end of the video. also, very good content all around :)

[@bluerazor7049]

Just awoke and saw that you uploaded, I'm excited to see the new video!

760, 960, v90, s90 got the multi-link. All othere stand "peasant" models of 740 and 940 had the live axle.

[@TobinTwinsHockey]

Great content as usual.

[@gaucker398]

I love me a good clean rear end

[@nhraman76]

Nice work overall. Enjoyed the video format. Definitely inspired me to get moving on my 740 wagon, I'm very thankful mine is a southern car, but it would look better with bed liner over factory tar lol

[@GiulioSerra88]

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Yeah, that's just too much for my dyslexic brain to keep track of, haha.

[@pistolpoppa]

@@bakedbeansgarage116 Haha, yeah its not the easiest but keep up the amazing videos and work!

[@789costela]

You know that rusty disel 740 disel you scraped? In Sweden no old volvo is to rusty! No mater of shape, them al is worht saveing! Yes 🇸🇪

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

They certainly are, that car just had too many paperwork issues for it to be worth it :/ it will live on through the two wagons I'm working on (and a secret future project)

[@DrAppleCrispies]

I think my volvo had the same pre ious owner lol

[@enriquelopez9124]

Your rear axle is from a 940 and they are from the beginning a dana 30 axle
