Rear toe adjustment

Post by kippster41493 »

I went for a wheel alignment yesterday and the technician showed me he was not able to adjust the toe in the rear (1/4" toe out currently) because this part is broke. What is it called?

That's a rear trailing arm bushing, no? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... 13-9181014

It looks like it would be, because mine are broke off somehow I do not have a good representation of what it would originally be. Does look like it would be what it is though.

No clue. Here's a good read on how to replace it... Seems like quite a bit of work!

The bushings are a bit easier than the end links but corrosion on the bolts can make things really difficult.

So dumb question, I see you guys bash on Uro parts brand a lot. Are they really that bad? The only place I've been able to find both of these bushings was on parts geek unfortunately and they only offer Uro parts brand. If anyone can advise of the quality or can show me where to get a better brand for these on 1994 850 turbo would be greatly appreciated :)

We keep saying URO parts are poorly made, yet, people keep asking the same question. Scan Tech, Pro Parts, Uro, etc, they are all cheap for a reason. They might look ok when new, but they don't last as long as the OEM parts. In a few months, you'll be buying the good quality parts to replaced the poor parts. I know I did. I bought the URO radiator hose, they balloned to the point where I don't even trust them in a few months of time. My coolant surge tank cracked, and bought a URO replacement, it turned yellow so fast it wasn't even funny. At the end, I paid for all the URO parts TWICE, once to URO, the other to replace the URO with the good quality parts.

4 months old URO radiator hose and new Dayco.

Thanks for the comparison pictures, I looked on FCP when that link was posted and searched though pages and pages and wasn't finding both of them for some reason. I just checked again and found something interesting, I sorted it by brand and I choose genuine Volvo and they only offer one side?

XC70 means AWD, so not for your car.

These part number will give you want you need for your FWD car.
9181013
9181027

The volvo dealer seems to have a better pricing.

I also recommend 3516122, you'll need two of this and a special puller to replace that bushing.

The bottom one on the list was what I was referring to, but thank you for showing the parts. I didn't know that site existed, I'll have to browse it sometime. The lateral links I already have (not installed yet) and I have new shocks and coils as well. I have a long day ahead of me when ever I get around to doing all this.
