Loaner Tool - Volvo part #: 9995497

Hello...anybody have a press/extractor tool for the trailing arm/delta links? Would like to change mine out and really do not want to buy one or have it become an epic project without it.
Anyhow, no bs or games on my end, straight-up, good-to-go. Thanks. Adam.

We had one on loaner rotation but it was broken about every 5 uses, so the program did not support that.

You can easily burn or drill them out in pieces if you have the working space. The extraction tool doesnt work well if the links are really stuck.

Ok, thanks....are these links and trailing arm bushings worth trying to change out? The car has 200k and I want to refesh the suspension, front/rear, completely to make it as safe as possible for my daugheter. Although there are no suspect noises/issues at this time (Florida car) I'd like to do it for good measure....learning experience, too.

Big Blue is dead? It worked exceptionally well, in my experience.

Also, I understand Lemforder is the recommended brand, which I often use, however, would Rein be good enough? I like Rein products, but strangely, they are very inexpensive at Rock Auto, $23 versus $175 plus for Lemforder.

If you do this job, you will want to use the best quality parts you can buy, Lemforder, because you won't ever want to do it again.

Afraid that would be the case, Have a large list of parts to buy, hoping to save a bit...but, dislike installing inferior parts.

Archer - I have an extreme view on crappy parts, but Im an old crusty dodger, so give the Forum a few days to see if anyone has real data on Rein Delta links.

I have found that structural rubber seems to be the thing the cheap parts do the worst.

oil soaked rubber separates the men from the boys. PVC hoses, turbo hoses, lower mounts. I think rein would be fine back there where its dry (oil) but I dont have any experience to back that up. some one here will. Rein did supply Oem motor mounts(?)
