Given the likely age/condition of the new bushes it is false economy to consider using them. As I said previously, when the bushes fail in the future the rear end has to be dismantled to replace them so you will be paying the garage to redo the work that they are doing at the moment. You need to have the four wheel alignment doing, once back together and would also need it redoing when the new bushes are fitted in the future - so paying twice for that. Also, much easier to replace the bushes whilst the arms are on the bench, than struggling under the car.
Alright thanks, I'm guessing that's 2x these https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com...bfc8dfab50a06c and 1 of each of these https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com...bfc8dfab50a06c https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com...bfc8dfab50a06c then?
