Trailing arm bushes

[Ian21401]

Well done that man.
Just for reference should anyone need to know.
My daughter’s 2011 XC70 D5 AWD Geartronic ( 147297 mileage) needed these bushes done so we had the dealer do them whilst it was in for it’s annual service. From my research it would have taken me several days to do these on the drive and I would have needed the special tool. My daughter needs the car daily for her work so could not have it off the road so we bit the bullet. They only had the car two days and a courtesy car was provided so daughter could continue working.
The service manager informed us that as they had the “Volvo special tool” the bushes could be replaced with the trailing arms still in situ.
