I just replaced my rear suspension bushings and what a difference it makes! I found it to be quite a job. I have a 12 ton bottle jack hydraulic press I used to press in all the bushings except the two large ones on the axle. For those I made a simple threaded tool to press those bushings in. I had to collaspe the old bushings to remove them. The car rides better than it ever has. Old rubber bushingswere in poor shape, the two large ones on the axle being the worst. I have access to a lathe at work so I could make all the different sized pushing bobbins I needed. Some of the bushings are directional (the ones for the upper links have openings and rubber and rubber has to be aligned fore and aft) I think it took me about 8 hours maybe a little more. If you are considering doing this to your 240 it is worth it.

 

Sounds like you did a good job and enjoy the benefits from the repair. Glad it went well for you.
