2006 Xc70 d5 arb bushes

Tjoffroader · Oct 18th, 2022, 11:11

I have read the threads on here about rear arb bushes. Powerflex only do arb bushes in even numbers, and my xc70 is 19mm. Should I get the 18mm Powerflex or is there an alternative brand? I generally only get Powerflex bushes or try buy OEM but Volvo don't make the bush alone and Powerflex are being weird.

Volvo want £210 for a full rear arb. Ipd have an upgraded front and read arb for around £300-£400 but I just want to replace the bushes!

What have other people done here?

The Tedgum bush will need to be cut as you probably know. I was hoping to slide them over the flat end of the bar using plenty of soap.
I found the best cut was from the hole centre out to one of the corners and across the width of the bush.
