Give them the information above. It's not something I'd trust to a local garage. No offence meant, I have a lot of respect for local garages (Olive & Nicholson - Sleaford). But this is a little more "specialist"

Hi The newer type bushes for the rear trailing arms have to come from Sweden. I believe they have been modified ie; Plated to prevent corrosion and de-lamination of the bush. Local garage will only fit volvo supplied parts so will still get them to do job when parts arrive .

The new bushes have now been fitted and make a tremendous difference to the ride .I can turn the radio volume down now! They now come with plastic collars that are fitted after the bush is pressed into place . These are filled with a mastic type material that seals the bush where the rubber meets the outer metal ring. This should stop the bushes de-laminating which causes premature failure and the squeaks and clonks. Local garage charged 3 1/2 hours labour and the bushes are £77-50 each from Volvo. I have since found some a lot cheaper on e-bay £43 a pair ! but are they as good ? Hopefully paid for the proper stuff and only have to do it once !

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread....
I wasn't able to send a PM to Model Flyer (as I've not yet posted enough), hence I need to ask here.... I'm fairly sure I need to change my rear trailing arm bushes as there is a fair bit of squeaking from the rear wheel arches (which goes away when it's been raining lots). I know it's not possible to say for sure, but it really sounds like the squeaking of metal-on-metal as opposed to anything plastic/rubber. Model Flyer, do you recall why your garage needed 3-1/2 hours to do this job ? That really puts me off doing it myself. I've replaced bushings before, e.g. control arm F&R bushes on a Ford Focus as I have a hydraulic press. But that amount of time at a garage makes me think that's one hell of a job, i.e. dismantling a sub-frame or something really time-consuming, or something I can't do myself at home. Sorry for bringing up old history that you've probably wanted to forget

It can be done on the car by using the sealey tool to press the old out and the new in via a screw thread. Tool costs about £180 on eBayand as the life of these bushes is recond at about 40,000 it could well be a regular job. My dealer charged me £300 for both sides and it appears a 4 wheel alignment check is imperative after its been done.
Now £180 + £160 for the bushes + £45 for the 4 wheel alignment = £385 for the first time but buying the tool saves you big time second time round. Paul. Last edited by green van man; Mar 20th, 2017 at 20:14. |

It depends how the old bush comes out, as always it could drop out or you could be fighting it for hours. Getting the new in is rarely a problem.
Garages have to factor this unknown into their price or potentially loose money on the job. When it's your car and your time it's just a bitch of a job, when it's your living it's one less fish supper you can afford this week. Paul. |

I've not had them side by side to compare them but even my dealer told me of the about 40k life span as they had changed a number at this sort of milage and that was with Volvo bushes. A Google search on Volvo or Mondeo rear trailing arm bushes will show a host of cases. Paul. |
