Have a 2001 S80 2.9 that needs lower control arm bushings Was told by several people have to replace the whole control arm Volvo dealer says I can replace just the bushings Do they have to be pressed on ? Has anyone done this job and can give me any help or suggestions on how to go about it. I have a Ford mech who is going to help with this but he does not have a press if they have to be pressed on

 

They can be swapped but in my opinoion I would just replace the entire arm.
It is alot easier to just replace the arm.

The front ones have to be pressed in a certain amount.
I have seen people destroy the arm trying to replace them.

 

Hey Tech got the lower control arm bushings replaced Went to a local frame shop and they replaced them for $220.00 I bought the bushings. Need help on this At low speed when I mash the brake pedal the first time I get a metallic sounding click Does not do It at high speed or I cannot hear it Also will not do it but one time if I pump the brakes. frame shop said everything looked good Do youn have ant suggestions? THX

 

Maybe it is the brake pads shifting in the caliper bracket.
Also see if it does it in reverse once then again when you hit them going foward.
