Are you doing the front and rear?

The front has 8 bushings that hold the sway bar in place counting the the bushings that hold the links to the control arm. The control arms have two each with the rear bushing needing replacement much more frequently than the front.

The rear of the car has four trailing arm bushings, the rear ones needing replacing more often than the front. There are also four torque rod bushings, and two track rod bushings.

That's all I can remember. I would suggest absolutely not using any cheap bushings. I use Volvo bushings because I believe they of much higher quality than the aftermarket rubber bushings. Some guys like the stiffer ride and control they get with poly bushings. In any case, it's a bit of work. On my wife's 93, I replaced six front sway bar bushings, all four control arm bushings, and all four torque rod bushings. I can't say it was much fun removing all those, but putting it all back together with new bushings, struts, top strut bearings, shocks, and turbo bars, then driving it, made it all worth it.

Enjoy the project and be careful under there.

I worked with TascaVolvo. Parts people faxed me exploded view schematics before I made the call to make the order. I'd recommend ordering replacement bolts, lock nuts, etc. As noted in the previous post, chances are you will not have to do the entire "list", that was my experience as well. I went with OEM rubber bushings except for my sway bar bushings (poly) on my '83 245GLT. Strut inserts were from IPD when I learned that Volvo did not have the OEM ones I wanted. The good news is that Volvo OEM parts prices have dropped.

Front: Swar bar bushings are a good idea. Control arm bushings are a must, might as well replace the front and rear CA bushings, even though the rear is usually the worst.




Rear: Torque rod bushings are great in poly. Rear trailing arm bushings are probably long gone on your car, but poly makes for a harsh ride, you might consider new rubber. The front trailing arm bushings have been in great shape on the three 240s I've inspected, so you can probably leave those alone. I've seen some panhard rod bushings that are in bad shape, might want to replace those.

That's pretty much the rundown for suspension bushings. If you're serious about it, new OEM strut mounts in the front would be nice.
