How to replace trailing arm bushings (part #31277893) on 2001-2007 V70 / XC70 AWD.

Detailed video on how to replace the two trailing arm bushings that are pressed into the front of the rear-sub-frame. Unfortunately, this job requires lowing the subframe to get proper access which means: lowering exhaust, lowering the rear differential, and then the subframe. You will want to consider doing a few more jobs at the same time if they are due such as replacing sway bar, other bushings, axles, etc.

I just want to compliment your problem solving skills. This is the 3rd video I have watched in a row today of yours. They are helping me prepare to work on my '05 XC70.

You are a true man of genius. Your pronouns are he and him. Very nice work using what you have and buying only what you need. You deserve a lift. And so do I.

I was going to upgrade all my bushings just to be safe, after seeing this, I'll pass on this one until absolutely necessary lmao

Could these be the cause of rear jumping to one side or the other when hitting a pothole or recessed manhole cover with one of the rear wheels? My xc70 jerks to one side when i hit a pothole. Im actually thinking of dropping the whole subframe and changing all the bushings, since theyre original from 2001.

Where did you get the tool to press out ? Or did you build ? I need one asap dealer wants 1700$

Is there really no way to do it without dropping the subframe?

Sad too watch, total overkill...I changed too Powerflex, easy too press out without all your work. 😢
