I'm afraid I can't help there as I didn't carry out the replacement myself. I recall reading posts somewhere to the effect that it was a PITA to do, so I farmed it out to my local Volvo specialist. Given the cost of that repair, I doubt that they had go to the lengths of dropping the rear subframe for access, so maybe it is at the very least visible in part from the wheel bay and/or underneath.
