V70 rear trailing arm to subframe bushes

Peter2ltr · Nov 4th, 2023, 18:26

My old 2002 v70 rear end feels vague when going over bumps etc on closer inspection the trailing arm bushes are shot. Doing a little digging into the job and it doesn’t looks easy whilst searching around I noticed there is a poly bush kit for this has anyone fitted one the 2 piece bush with insert certainly sounds easier to fit thanks Peter

Hello buddy, have you satisfied yourself that it's not the shock absorbers? That can give you some strange handling. I didn't think the bushes are a common failure on these - I could be wrong though.....
HTH,

The drivers side bush is unfortunately looks pretty nakerd there is bits of rubber hanging out the side of it and when jacked up the bolt that holds the arm on isn’t sitting in the middle of the bush.
But it’s the second time shocks have been mentioned to me.
If you hit a bump in the road the back of the car sways from left to right.
