Wondering if this makes sense to any of you mechanics ...

1993 940 base wagon, 190000 miles

On cold (45degree) days, the rear end makes a "squonk-enk" noise, like the sound of someone rubbing an inflated balloon with their hand.

I called the mechanic who cared for this car for the last 10 years, and she said probably rear bushings, and suggested spraying all of them with penetrating lube.

Have any of you done that, and did it help?

No dealer or Volvo specialists within 60 miles, so I'm doing the DIY gig. I didn't realize the rear end had so many bushings ....

Thanks.
