Thanks for the information. I live in Seattle, so rust isn't too bad. But looking through the Haynes, I see they rate most of the bushing jobs at a level 4 out of 5. So I'd probably regret doing it, especially since they often require special presses and tools.

One weird thing about bushings, I'm thinking is that all the books say the owner can't really be a good judge of what condition they're in, since the owner drives the vehicle every day.

The IRONY is that who can you ask about the state of the bushings except a mechanic... and what'd you think they're gonna say? (or course they're looking for more work!)

I guess if I could take a test drive in a similar model volvo with new bushings and struts and shocks, I'd be able to tell the difference.
