You might want to check on eBay as they have a Volvo bushing kit listed on there with quite a few of the rubber bushings listed. Or you might want to check on neoprine bushings as they will last longer and take some of the sway out better. I was able to find a pair of air shocks at a swap meet and installed them. Now I can compensate for additional weight of passengers in the back and it realy makes a difference in handling. Unfortunatly I have no idea what the y fit originaly but they bolted right in and all I had to do was run the air line to some where i could reach easy like inside the trunk. Check eBay under Volvo 444 and you can find the bushings. If your kingpins are still tight you might not have tomess with them but check to see if they are getting good flow of grease to them and are free and not binding. Make sure you check the grease level in the steering gear and take up the play according to the manual. Radials will go a long way tward handling on this car also but you might have to change the rims to get a good fit between the tires and rims as the old ones were not designed for the radial tire bead.
Good luck,
Dennis
