Which bushings? If you are talking about the lower strut rod bushings, the ones on the front of the strut rod that go into the lower control arm then yes, they are a snap to do. They are even easier if you change them out to the urethane style bushings and the urethanne bushings are a nice improvement over the stock Volvo ones. I have installed countless sets of them in my customers cars and I have never had a customer regret it and I have never done the same car twice.
You know after re-reading my post I have to wonder about what climate you are in. I live in So. Cal and because of that I do not have to deal with rust and road salt conditions. I have however had opportunity from time to time to do a set of those bushings that have been exposed to it. That being said if your bushings are rusted in due to the conditions they can be just a bit of a bitch to do. I end up using an air chisel to not only cut the old ones out but to descale all of the rust off of the lower arm. Roll under your V and take a look at them, if they appear to be rusted to hell or you know they are because of where you live then you might want to give them a pass and let someone else cuss the blue streak.
