Default 2002- s60 rear suspension

Looking for information / diagrams / video on disassembly rear suspension as considering replacement of several bushings. This area seems not too well covered anywhere.

Any leads to purchase adjustable control arms. TCP Euro had them sometime back, but unable to locate anywhere.

One shop seemed to indicate the rear pan may need to be dropped down or removed with possibility bolts maybe unable to remove. any information on this idea?

Thanks in advance.

What bushings are you trying to replace? all of them? IPD has adjustable arms for the rear to adjust toe. https://www.ipdusa.com/products/1024...lvo-IPD-121589 (verify fitment) Also, what trim is your car and is it awd?

Thanks Dinus1 for information -- parts on order. Going to accept the camber error, but at least the wheels will be straight down the road, thanks again.

Not sure of bushing name, but large tub with bushing top near sub frame - perhaps is the camber tube. Only front wheel drive. as to trim, sorry not sure what your looking for.

I believe they make a bushing that can be rotated before pressed in to adjust camber. I thought it was on IPD but I didn't see it when I put in a 2002 S60 T5 fwd (t5 is the trim btw).

they have this for the AWD cars. Idk if yours is fwd or awd.

OK on trim, it is a T-5.
Yes on bushing I did find, it is a Volvo part. Not sure if it is currently installed my car as I have the off-set washer similar to bushing kit picture. Top of picture is control arm bolt I have- perhaps this is the original installation.
