New rear outer bushes in V70 T5
Not long after passing the MOT in January, my V70 developed a nasty rattle in the rear suspension. It was the o/s rear outer bush that had perished - I am probably fortunate it passed the MOT.
Anyhow, my excellent Volvo Specialist replaced both bushes on Friday and I can't believe the transformation in the handling - it feels as tight as a new car. Anyone with a well-used V/S/C70 should give serious thought to renewing these bushes for shear driving pleasure! Last edited by Tweedle12; Feb 17th, 2019 at 18:17. |

Which bushes do you mean? Strut mounts? Delta link bushes? Trailing arm?
