Full Rebush ?

[cchidzey]

Hi all,

I've got uneven tyre wear on my 06 plate XC90 (105k miles).
Whilst fitting new brakes last week, couldn't help but notice that most of the suspension bushes I could see, the rears in particular, look very tired.

There's various posts on here about changing specific bushes, but has anyone ever committed to doing a full re-bush?

Is it worthwhile, or does the time/expense outweigh the benefit?

Unless you like little challenges like that and have a suitably equipped garage, best just get the Volvo original wishbones which come with new bushes x2. They are around £100 each on e-bay from one of the three dealers that sell genuine parts at trade price.

Don't forget to get the tracking done after.

If looking to save some money, be aware that most wishbone brands out there (perhaps except Lemforder) may last 3-6-or-24 months. Shocking quality even for aftermarket parts.
