Volvo 850 Turbo Rear Trailing Arm Bushing
I need to replace these on my 850 as one has broken.
http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exe...ategory_id/181
Ive done some reading on the net of how to replace these. But all I can find is how to replace the Rear Trailing Arm Link (which does not look to easy when the time comes)
Is it as easy as removing the bolts and replacing them, or am I looking at having to tear apart the Trailing Arm assembly X2?
Can't find anything on Garage 13 (this site is usually a God Send)
Any help would be great, as my departure time for our Xcross USA trip is approaching.

Just did this job today, changed the drivers side bushing (therefore wokring on the passenger side of the car)
Steps I took:
1 - Rolled car up on ramps
2 - took bottom 2 nuts off (came off easy 21mm)
3 - Bolts were siezed in the assembly and after banging on them for a while, soaking them down with PB Blaster, i ended up grinding the entire mount in half.
4 - My bushing was sheared apart from the base mount so after i got the base piece out i moved the trailing arm around and got an 18mm box wrench onto the bushing bolt to get it off
5 - Put new bushing in place and jacked up the trailing arm to align the arm with the bushing bolt hole.
6 - Ended up needing a socket U-Joint, extension, and 18mm socket to tighten the bushing bolt (u joint came into play since there is a small area cut out where, with an extension, you can get the socket onto the bolt to tighten it)
7 - Used a pry bar to move the bushing into place to put in the other 2 bolts and tighten them up
I anticipated this taking 1 to 1 1/2 hours but after needing to run to the store to get the u-joint and needing to pull out the grinder and sawzall to cut out the old bushing, it ended up taking me three hours.

Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Replacement
Hi, i'm new to the forum. I need to replace the bushings but confused about your write-up. Looking at the below picture, how did you move the control arm out enough to replace the bushing 4L,4R if the car was on ramps?I was going to remove both control arms then replace both bushing. If your method save time and achieves the same result, please let me know how you did it. Thanks

I have replaced both sides on a 1994 850 turbo. The bolts on the drivers side were seized so I had to cut the old fitting out with a hack saw. I also replaced both of the fittings on the other ends of the Delta links at the same time. I think you might be able to replace the drivers side without disconnecting anything else but the passengers side would be difficult.
