Yesterday i changed the front stabilizer bushes... because i got a knock sound which i don't know from were it comes.
I thought that this will be a 15 minutes job, but turned to be about 4 hours full of "fun".
The fact is, that there is no space and room to reach those bushes... at list on turbo models. I barely managed to stop my mechanic from dismantling my brake pumps to reach the left bush... and finally we hardly managed to reach that left bush from a water drainage hole (were the windshield wipers motor is located).
Another thing i noticed:
I think that somehow/sometime those bushes were exchanged in design, because looking for hints on how to deal with the problem, I noticed that vadis instructions are showing something else (a different design part).
Also, i think that this bush should have a different position, regarding his design. Maybe, Volvo changed this bush but didn't change the fitting on the body.

Sorry for this long post but parts that are hard to reach/exchange, is definitely a top 10 problem.
