How to replace trailing arm bushings (part
Ойын-сауық
Detailed video on how to replace the two trailing arm bushings that are pressed into the front of the rear-sub-frame. Unfortunately, this job requires lowing the subframe to get proper access which means: lowering exhaust, lowering the rear differential, and then the subframe. You will want to consider doing a few more jobs at the same time if they are due such as replacing sway bar, other bushings, axles, etc.

I just want to compliment your problem solving skills. This is the 3rd video I have watched in a row today of yours. They are helping me prepare to work on my '05 XC70.
You are a true man of genius. Your pronouns are he and him. Very nice work using what you have and buying only what you need. You deserve a lift. And so do I.
I was going to upgrade all my bushings just to be safe, after seeing this, I'll pass on this one until absolutely necessary lmao
Thank you for the watch:)
Could these be the cause of rear jumping to one side or the other when hitting a pothole or recessed manhole cover with one of the rear wheels? My xc70 jerks to one side when i hit a pothole. Im actually thinking of dropping the whole subframe and changing all the bushings, since theyre original from 2001.

same issue on my car, I will give it a try and change it soon
Is there really no way to do it without dropping the subframe?

Well, I can't say for sure but when you take the wheel off and have a look at how little space there is in front of that bushing you'll see that it's a real challenge. There simply isn't enough space to get a bushing and press tool in there unlike the XC90 where you get direct, unobstructed access.
Sad too watch, total overkill...I changed too Powerflex, easy too press out without all your work. 😢

can you avoid dropping sub frame with the power flex? have a nasty sway if you hit bumps from the rear end.
