Anti roll bar bushes and end links
Hi people,
My 2011 xc60 (D3 drive) has developed a knocking in the from suspension when driving over uneven road. Had on a ramp and had a good inspection and I think it's coming from anti roll bar bushes that are held in place on the inside of the chassis with U brackets. Considering the age and mileage that's been covered by the car I was thinking of replacing the anti roll bar bushes and end links for both front and rear. Before starting a job or even buying parts I thought if someone here could give me some advice : 1. can anyone here suggest which replacement parts to go for? should I stick with Volvo OEM or go for the polyurethane replacement? 2. Has anyone tackled this job and have any pointers if I were to do the job myself. I took it to a garage and they said £280 if nothing went wrong (without parts, which I think is very expensive), the thing is it looks straight forward enough but a manual with pictures would be nice or even some advice from someone who has tackled this job. Thank you |

Haynes manual says drop front subframe by 50mm. ive just had this very job done-without dropping but mechanic said it was not an easy thing to do. as for type polybushes give a longer lasting and firmer ride ,but there are many genuine oem suplliers who will send rubber ones- I must admit that the difference having had oem fitted is astounding-but at 141k miles it should be- although I had the old ones returned and although soft they were complete and in one piece,just very polished where antiroll bar sits-as for the links- ihad noises from back of exhaust up to gearbox ,surprising the way noise in wheelarches seems to come from elsewhere-atb cardiomike

Thread resurrection!
So did you get it done and how much did it cost? How come you were quoted so much. This looks like an easy swap... am I missing something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cipun0QWwas I ressurrecting this thread because I need to replace one and it was what came up in the search.
