Trailing arm bushes, an awkward job best done on a ramp. The tool to push the bushes in is quite heavy and it can take a few tries to get the bushes in square.
I did this on my driveway, I'd not be keen to repeat it !
There are poly-bushes available now, they might be easier to fit, I'll be trying them if there is a next time.

Note if not using genuine Volvo bushes, the left hand bush has an extended mounting plate which acts as an exhaust mounting, you may need to improvise.
