960 bushing replacement on control arm

Post by David Whiteford »

How big of job is this? It's the larger bushing on the rear of the arms. Should I replace all th bushing while I am at. The rest of the steering suspension is tight. Any help would be appreciated.

Keep on keeping on!

It isn't too hard a job. This is from a Volvo publication:

I can't locate the special tools mentioned in any of the books I have but suspect that improvisation will prevail.

As for the rest of the bushings - if they aren't broken don't fix them.
