960 rear suspension

[Vestman]

Hi there, roller's

I can't seem to find solid information on what year the 960 becomes the independant rear suspension.Until now 1995 seems to be it. Have I understood it correctly that it changes the dimension on the wheels as well - using same measurements as the 850's ( with 43 mm ET instead of 25 mm)? And does it change for both wagon and sedan at the same time?

And, furthermore, have any of You tried both? I imagine that the comfort and handling is a chunk nicer in the newer ones.

960 sedans always had independent rear suspension. The design for models up to 1994 was started on the 760 sedan in 1988. The whole suspension (front as well) was changed for the 1995 model year, when the wagon also got independent rear suspension. And this front suspension was based on the 850s, so it uses the same dimension wheels as the 850 from then on.

Thanks a bunch, Mike! ;o)
