Default volvo s60 control arm bushing tool I made.

I fabricated the press and bought some pipes at home depo, it was very easy to take off and on. Hope it helps someone else, I know this bushing dont last very long.

Just in time. I've got an '04 with only 60k miles on it. Tried to get an alignment 2 days ago and the mechanic said bushing deflection was too much to align. Also the cause of the wheel well rub marks and steering end stops to wear out. I don't know if I believe all of it, but bushing did seem to move quite a bit pulling on the wheel. I came here to ask if the rubbing on the inner wheel well is "normal" for a P235/45R17 tire (wouldn't think so, but never know) and if the bushing is soft from factory or worn out.
