Thanks, I'll look into doing this when it comes to the time. The car has done 171k and was a farm car for a long time, which I now use it 50% on farm land so it wouldn't surprise me if multiple things need changing. I've replaced a lot of bushes already and there's the sway bars/antiroll bars that definitely need doing.

ah now that's another kettle of fish
for some reason in their infinite wisdom volvo made the rollbars with the bushes 'welded' on as part of the bar. so really the official thing to do is replace the whole bar. however you can get repair kits and just cut or burn off the old rubber getting the ARB out is not easy though, it sits right under the bulkhead above the subframe, so you have to drop the rear end of the subframe it's an up-on-the-lift job to be honest unless you're really confident and have an array of jacks and supports |

polybushes are the way forward
I"ve poly bushed the front and rear bush in the front wishbones(along with various other polybushes), and the difference is phenomenal......esp compared to knackered rubber ones. as I think Stuart Bowes said, its almost impossible to get them into a hydraulic press at one end, but if you've a good enough threaded sleeve puller it might work, with a healthy coating of WD40 or penetrating oil to help it along, or a wee bit of heat.
I look after the families 3 P2 XC70's and they are all now polybushed at the front, I won't go back to rubber.

The way I ended up doing mine is getting help to push the hub down to get the hub/strut bolts back in. If you were doing it on your own you'd probably want some way of pulling the bottom of the strut up eg those ratchet strap/similar methods.

I'll be the first to admit I've not done the job and have no expertise in the area im afraid, beyond the basic info I've already mentioned..
but others on here will be more than happy to offer their wisdom no doubt I'd probably just give it to the garage when it comes to it for my car, I'm just not comfortable unbolting my subframe and getting under the car on the drive |
