I could use some tips or advice on replacing the upper and lower bushings on the torque arms(is this what they're called).they keep the axle stabilized and they're shot, I can feel it while holding the shifter and the shifter rocks while going thru the gears and when letting off the gas and re-acellerating and it may also be causing a loud knock on certain bumps in the road, I'm not ready for nivomat replacement yet due to $$$$. the small bushing in the front is straight forward but the big one on the back of arm is where I have concern. I already have the bushings but i dont want to damage it while pressing it in.It is a strange looking bushing since it's a smaller diameter on the inside which means the first part pressed in is larger and I dont want to damage it, this is where I may have a problem since the bushing appears that it will be compressed quite a bit pressing the leading edge thru and could easilly be damaged or ripped. If you have any tips on this please let me know. When I bought the bushings the complete arn could not be ordered. Volvo wants at least $110.00 per arm so it was easy to look else where. thanks Dave
