Great video. One suggestion. Black socks. Id even find gray acceptable here. Not that white socks are bad. There’s just more situation suitable options. Cheerio

🤣 I wear the white socks in the garage because they are the ones I like the least!!

Thank You,very nice video.👍I have volvo v70 19 years old , shal i change these bushings? Whats about polyurethane bushings like powerflex?

[@matthewbreeden6651]

They're certainly worn at this point; I don't have any input for the poly bushings, but I really enjoy my Delrin ones. There's no real change in vibration in the cabin, and the car feels a lot more direct now.

✌ my friend. I have a 1998 v70r which was converted to manual. I purchased the delrin bushings along with ipd torque trans mount with polyurethane bushings at firewall and engine. I was just on the phone attempting to get rear lower mount. Well point being i was told that delrin really mess up the ride in regards to harshness and vibration. What is your take after installation and use? Thanks🙄

[@matthewbreeden6651]

Being that it's a manual, I don't feel any vibration whatsoever. The car is a bit stiffer, sure, and the steering input is more direct. I don't find any negatives to be honest. You might get a touch more rattling inside the cabin though with all of the plastic. Just take the trims off & put Dynamat or Noico material behind them and it will be great.

@@matthewbreeden6651 😅thank you for the response instalation is happening as we read!! Can't wait!! Have upgraded your suspension. My V has been outfitted with Nivomats in the rear and they are shot. I purchased an all around OEM suspension setup to find out the rear are non compatible. I proceed the nivomats at $361.00 each., I'm just gonna hold out for BC coilovers at $1097. -$1197.. I am excited to say I am almost at stage 0. My engine bay is almost new... almost!! Thanks for insight and inspiration.

@@EnlightenedHeckler I'm partial to the 4C setup, but to each their own. If you want to follow along more with my build, it's @swedespeedv70r on instagram.

I have a video on the Volvo special tool for this, which is still available

[@JozefMarhut]

Are all 4 bushings the same size?

[@matthewbreeden6651]

yes!

[@reallyhappenings5597]

But one front corner is different, and that bushing is the "pilot."

[@matthewbreeden6651]

@@reallyhappenings5597 maybe the OEM ones are different, but the Delrin bushings were all identical.

[@MementoMori-xx5qo]

​@@reallyhappenings5597 Volvo now state to use the same bushing on all 4, I asked for the one with the larger oval and the dealership told me it was superseded according to VIDA.

I'm watching with the sound off, why not work on a bench if I sat on the floor like that I'd be hurting for weeks. Put that thing on a bench

Good job you don't value your fingers, knuckles or subframe!

[@matthewbreeden6651]

Car feels great 3k miles later, hands are good, thanks for your concern!

Strongly considering these for my S60 while doing the upcoming manual swap, since a Volvo crony suggested it. Heard nothing but good things about them! 🦾
