►The trailing arm bushing that Volvo put in the V60 and S60 rear suspension is susceptible to reasonably rapid wear, and from that, they'll need regular replacements. The bushings are the main contributor to locating the articulation of the entire trailing arm, playing a significant role in the rear suspension. However, that role puts the bushing under tremendous stress, so their lifespan isn't very long. As they degrade, the rubber within the bushing splits and rips, ruining the majority of the bushing's necessary qualities.
Some signs of worn bushings are a vague and floaty rear-end, a squeaking from the rear over bumps, and the inability to reach the proper rear suspension alignment specs. Replacing the bushing isn't a monumental task, but it will require an alignment after the process. The alignment process may be avoided if the bushing is replaced while the arm remains in the car, but that will make the job a bit tougher.
Follow along as FCP Euro's Volvo catalog manager, Adam Goral, takes you through how to replace the rear trailing arm bushings on a P3 Volvo V60.
