Volvo 240 trailing arm bushing

This video will show you how to remove the center trailing arm bushing and reinstalling poly-urethane bushings . The failure of these bushings causes the "clunk" most owners of the Volvo 200 series cars experience . Volvo no longer offers the special tool to press these in and out so hopefully this will help you towards making your own tool or you may purchase the tool from me when I finish developing it . Leave comments and I will try to get back with you with any help you may need . Stay tuned. More Volvo tech videos to come .

Hi, do you have any idea how to replace the upper rear control arm bushings on a 2000 S80? Thank you.

Great video, thanks. Just finished this. Quite rusty on mine. Banging around with hammer and penetrating lube helps. Regular bolt/nut got stripped. So got 1/2'" diameter grade 8 fine thread (pitch 20) bolt/nut. The mechanical advantage of the fine thread and the hardened metal did the trick.

Hi < I bought my 240 wagon a year + ago and this will help tremendously, I am a welder by trade so welding is no biggie
thanks a million!!!

I just used a chisel and wire brush to remove the old rubber bushing from the original sleeve then installed the new poly bushings. took roughly 20 min for each. Great video though.

How much for tool you made for pressing out baering

[stewartbruce]

Dear Smokey, Thanks for a well executed and detailed video of the job at hand.. I Would be interested in purchasing the tool you made, for both extraction and insertion of bushing. Please let me know, and blessing for your good work!!!

What was the super pro part number for those

[longfade]

Great video. The most important takeaway for me, an amateur DIY'r, is: I'm going with the poly bushings, and this is one thing I'm gonna pay someone else to do. My hat is off to you big-time but this is a bit out of my depth!!

I have looked for your tool and volvo's for my 240. Did you start making the tool? I have an 88. Have started making or selling them?

Hey, i have a 90 volvo 760..Is it safe to say that this may be my problem..When i mash the gas the rear end of the car would swerve..And i think at 1 point in time..It did it and i heard a clunk..Coukd this be my problem?? plz reply

[jaredbossart]

hey have you considered a putting a guide on turbo bricks or making a a blog explained the  needed for this tool.  My rear bushings are making the box of rocks noise i would love to make the tool 

[jayjaynezmerize]

Great video, Man! I've got a 1990 DL with 156k miles. If you would have said the year
and miles of your repair job, I could better guess when to get mine done or looked at.
My best guess is these bushings gotta last 300k+miles before needing replacement??

I have an original Volvo bushing press tool and plan on pressing out the bushings soon. Do you need a different tool to install? It looks like you used two different ones to press out and install. Great video, by the way!

I burned the the rubber out with a red hot screw driver and a dye grinder. Then insert the poly bushings.
