Poly Bush Install - Volvo 240 Torque Rods

I fit Polyurethane (PU) bushings to the rear torque rods on the 244 and also show you my new personalised licence plate.

The poor man’s press method. Absolutely brilliant! 😃👌🏻

Car press. Nobody expected. Everybody needed!

Using the car as a press... Bloody awesome! Hope you don't have to rip it all out, be a bloody shame wouldn't it 😕

Nice job. I did almost the same thing for removing the old bushings, except I used a electric saw to cut the bushing wall instead of a hand saw. I used a bench vice to press the new bushings into the torque rods.

Using the car to fix the car is a big Thanos play there!

Great idea using the car as a press I used to press bushes into starters motors If I can give you a tip in future.
Anytime your pressing any Bush in no matter what it's made of use something flat and solid on top of the Bush it will stop the Bush from twisting and possibly getting distorted great video though buddy

Oh mate u could of painted the tourqe arms before you put them back in.anyway that poor mans press is bang on! Might have to use it myself 🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Using the car as a tool to help fix it's self, clever :D

Did you try those blue tablets in the washer bottle ?

Not to make you jealous, but I just pushed in that bush by thumb/palm today and some fairy liquid.

Are the new ones stronger, do they last longer than the regular ones.

I see that these PU bushings don't have the metal sleeve on them, Nice! They cost a lot more, but these you can mount easily with an improvised press / vise.. The normal rubber ones with metal sleeves scare me of, probably need a day in the freezer first andi don't have a professional press.

[erictompkins]

Odd thought from a non-mechanic: Use a well lubed piston ring compressor sleeve to start the bushing into the hole.

If I was a meanie, which I'm not...But if I was, "BW" = Brummie Wanker...? 😉 Exactly how romantic did your lady think it was of you to put her initials on that old Volvo then? Was it a "rolling her eyes and shaking her head" reaction, or was it more like, "You get an extra schnitzel for dinner liebling" reaction?? 👍
