S70: - Rear outer bush replacement recommendations

Tweedle12 · Jan 19th, 2021, 13:46

Hi there,
Looks like my S70 may need new rear outer suspension bushes replaced (Delta link). Has anyone used the PFS Swedish aftermarket parts - £ 36 compared with £156 from Volvo? Are they OK? Should I try elsewhere?

Many thanks.

Mine's got new delta bushes from PFV, they've been on there a few years and are fine, when I got them they looked to be very good quality too, so that's the route I'd go if I were you.

Replace them on my old 850 t5 a few years back, bought from PFS and seemed to be good quality.
If you can get hold of the proper tool for removal it makes it quite an easy job

Thanks guys - much appreciated - that sets my mind at rest.

Lemforder is the OE, and I believe they're fairly reasonably priced compared to the ones in blue bags.

I bought Febi ones of these, really solid and heavyweight.

I also purchased the genuine Volvo tool to assist my garage.
