V70 Suspension: - Powerflex wishbone REAR bush

Drak3n · Apr 7th, 2014, 18:35

Hello everyone ! Right now, my car is at garage and my mechanic will try to install powerflex bushes at front of the control arm(hope he will be sucessfull, because there are lots of manuals on the internet with pictures).

The problem seems to be the rear ones

Does anybody know, if there is something special about these ? Or the installation is simillar to the fronts ?

Easy, did a set a while ago. Remove the old bush with a drill, a screwdriver and a hammer then just press the powerflex one in with a bench vice.

the tough bit is getting the wishbone back on the car.

I will be Powerflex bushing both my front wishbones soon, front and back, depending on when all the parts arrive! I have been reassured that it's easy.

wish me luck!!

A quick question on this, do you have to remove the metal sleeve from the rear bush like you do the front one??
