I haven't done them, but I spent some time inspecting them and trying to establish how to replace them. They look a complete pain to replace. Sub frame needs removed etc.

Subframe does not need to be lowered when the clutch is done. Just the crossmember bars. I also want to put polybushes on our front ARB and dread the moment I have to do them..... ![]()

I did find a way of doing it without dropping the subframe. And no you won't be doing it lol, it was rather painful and a horrid fit.
Basically you will drop the subframe to access the bolts to swap them over. I'd get polybushes on them Kieran you'll never have to worry about them for the life of the car. I've done mine on polys and it's much nicer. Need to find some rear ones too. |

Look like s40 2004> to me you want this
http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=7669 Bare in mind, you need to cut the old rubber bush out the mount to place over these bushes. It's a pain but it's how I did it. I aquired an old front arb set to prepare them beforehand. |
