Strut rubber bushing?

Post by 01short »

I have an 01 v70 and it is making noise over rough road. When you open the hood over the strut one side has a rubber bushing and the other side doesnt. What is the bushing called and do you know the process for changing it. Thanks.

Whew
It's called the SPRING SEAT
You must remove the strut as it attaches to the top of it

Buy an XC90 spring seat, heavy duty, all years fit
