Sway Bar Bushings - '98 S70 T5

Post by io »

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to just replace the sway bar bushings on my S70 and not the whole sway bar. From what I read, I understand that the bushings are "built-in" to the sway bar itself. I also read something on Volvospeed about trying to get the bushings off the bar by burning them - with a flame/torch I guess. Has anyone heard anything about this.

If I do manage to get them off, does anybody know if the bushings that FCP Groton sells for the 1993 850 ($5.00 each) will fit my car.

Thanks very much,
Nick

Don't bother with the hassle and then bushings that may not give you a tight fit and annoy you with rattles later. Get in on the 20% off and free shipping group buy for IPD swaybars (a great time to upgrade!) on swedespeed:
