- Trailing arm bushing replacement: 2 to 4 hours ($30 / 350 / $525
In this video I show how I helped a friend replaced the trailing arm bushings on his 1997 Volvo 850 R wagon. This process should be the same on all of the P80 FWD Volvo cars which includes the 850, S70, V70, V70 GLT, V70 T5, etc.

I once bought an 850 sedan at auction in Los Angeles, and tried to drive it to Atlanta. You could smell the rear tires scrubbing the road, and little flecks of rubber covered the trunk and rear window as I drove. I bought two tires, for the rear, to start. They were gone by New Mexico, so I bought more at a junkyard and replaced them in New Mexico, again somewhere in Texas, and again in Alabama. I wish I had seen this video before THAT adventure.
I remember that. 😬
Great video that saves you a lot of time from having to get out from under the car to get the right socket size.👍👍
Thanks for watching
Amazing video! Well done, Robert. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Quick tip: When replacing the passenger side bushing takeoff the passenger wheel and you can slide the socket adapter and 12 inch extension in through the top. It fits much straighter.
Thanks for sharing.
This is timely for me because I have just started hearing noises from the rear suspension of my 98 V70. What I hear is more of a creaking sound than a metal banging noise, but now I will know what I am looking at when it stops raining and I get under there. Control arm, delta links, shocks. I rebuilt the entire front suspension when I bought the car, but have never really looked at the rear suspension. As usual, Robert, you are such a valuable resource. Welcome to Ohio.
Pull the front floor panel in the rear and check the top shock mounts.
@@RobertDIY Thanks, Robert. I will do that. I have enough car projects to keep busy this summer. I'm going to have two little granddaughters here for about five days and then will dig in.
What was the issue? Because I'm having similar symptoms on mine
Sweeeet. Done this on my white NA, about do the blue 95 wagon turbo. Jacked the car up yesterday to get a head start and it started POURING. Today should be a piece of cake ! Re watched just to see if the master had any easier way than I would have done. 😎👍
lol, thanks for watching.
@@RobertDIY got one bolts in on the passenger side for the Body of the bushing, And both bolts on the driver side through the bushing. But I can’t seem to get the other bolt lined up… Is there any easy way to spread apart the trailing arms/wheels they don’t seem to budge
@@RobertDIY I got it just needed To curse at it. 😂😂😂
Thank you for your help! Did this today on my -94 850
Fantastic!
Thanks Robert for detail Video I have done it yesterday.... easy way to handle 🙏👍
Awesome
Haynes makes it seem much more complicated or Robert makes everything so much easier to understand!!! :-)) I replaced mine a couple of years ago with Meylee. Hopefully it won't crack soon again.The bushing's look OK, just the metal cracks.
We need the metal.
Very good tutoral video!
Glad you liked it!
Hey the passenger bushing is in upside down. The fin was facing towards the middle of car and in the end the new ones fin was facing out..
😵 I'll check it out.
lol… I’m sure it will align fine…I thought I installed mine upside down until I rewatched video closely..
Have problems with the passenger side … can’t get the bolt lose because every normal nut on my wrench box is to long … any tips ? Did you bought special tools ? Extra short 18mm nuts for the wrench’s??
All I have is what you see here. Did you take the other side loose?
@@RobertDIY hi, yes , the other side , the left one is already done , didn’t screw it in (is lose ) no sway bar installed … but My normal 18mm socket is perfect but not with an angled wrench 🔧 , it’s to thick …
Question: what happens when the bushings finally crack or give in?
Rear alignment goes bad.

Thanks for watching
Hi, i cant seem to get the sway bar out on the driverside because it is stuck behind the bushing and the bolts throught the bushing are rusted/fused together with the bushing it self so i cant get the bolts out, i tried hammering them, i have a hydraulic lift in my garage i lifted my car as high as i can and i hit them (bolts) as strong as i could but no luck. Tomorow i will try to wiggle the sway bar out to give my self more working space, and if i still cant get them out i will just cut the bolts…
pull the tire and it helps to lift the weight off of the trailing arm. I also take the other side loose to shift the trailing arms around.
Hi Robert,
Great vídeo.
I have a volvo 1997 v70r Fwd and the rear vibrates a lot at high speed.
Can it be related to these? Are there any bushings left to change on the rear?
My car has 342k kms.
Thank you
Tires, shocks, other suspension related parts.
@@RobertDIY
Rear tires are 3 months old, springs I use H&r (2 weeks) and the shocks are Koni Srt.r. The wheels are repaired and painted. Any idea on what could it be?
Thanks for your help
Shocks are also brand New.
Poque no lo puedo ver en español
Lamento decirlo, no tengo ni idea.
“ CC “ ? 🙁 enjoy the work!
Huh?
