Apologies if this is an inane question (or if I've missed a key piece of info)... but if changing springs and shocks, would it make sense to change the suspension bushes as well at the same time...? Thanks, John.
Only if you have the specialist Volvo tools, or the ability to make a tool for the job.
Mine need doing & I've been to 4 garages who have said 'NO' to this work. I am not confident enough to try even with the tools, especially now that proffesional mechanics are saying "no".
I have even contacted a 'mainstealer' over here (via their web-site) they quoted me for the bushes, but ignored my plea for an estimate to do the work - seems like they don't want to do it either.
I think I'll have to take the car in and ask them face to face!
