You won't find information on this tool anywhere else, so don't complain to me -- thanks!

Nice tool, bought it this week, and looking forward to replace my bushings on my 95 850volvo

[@reallyhappenings5597]

camicatzelg you'll also need a 30mm ratcheting box end wrench for the big nut, a long one! Hard work. Lube the threads (of this tool, not the subframe bolt). I used the cutter tool to cut through the first 2 before realizing the small washer-cap is a better way to pull them down into the cup whole. Also mine tended to rotate a bit (10 degrees) as I pressed them in, possibly due to use of bushing grease. There are notches in the subframe and the bushings for alignment

Welcome

[@carlitoneici4552]

I haven’t done any research yet, just came across your video. Hoping to find one. I have two AWD xc90’s I’m doing the subframe bushings to

email Rob Dietsch per this video -- best and only hope

in the making since the cold war.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Well, I completely agree. But I also instinctually defend myself! I'm not going to take the time to re-shoot this utilitarian video-message. For the enthusiast Volvo owner, 10 minutes of my rambling is a small price to pay for the information that avails this essential and otherwise unavailable tool. Thank you!

is the supplier still active? the website seems to be down

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Find him and call him on the phone

Only for FWD Volvo's? What about for rear subframe camber bushings?.? Thanks for your reply 👍

[@MrQuantom]

In XC70 (04) rear subframe

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Rear *camber* bushings certainly not, they are smaller. Rear subframe bushings on FWD models? Likely for P2 and later. Can't speak for any RWD models but doubtful. This tool is designed for front subframe bushings on FWD models P80 and later. Other applications I'd use (and have used) a ball joint press set.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

For 2004 XC70 this will work for front subframe bushings and I believe rear subframe bushings too. You may have a hard time accessing the rear subframe bushings without dropping the entire rear suspension... can't say for sure. The trailing arms get in the way. I think I saw one vid of somrone doing rear subframe bushings on a P2.
