I need to replace the rubber bushing on the drivers sided front strut. The bushing stickes out through the enging bay from the top of the strut. I have removed the bolt and hardware from the top but cannot seem to pry out the rubber bushing. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to replace this part. Do I need to remove the strut completely? Would jacking up the front end to release some of the tension help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Paul
It sounds like you are trying to change the spring seat if this is what you are trying to replace you do need to remove the shock assembly from the car , you have to compress the spring & then remove the top nut which holds the bearing plate to the body then remove the second nut that holds the spring seat to the shock if you do not feel comfortable with doing all of this then bring the car to your local Volvo specialist or to your Volvo dealer also you should change both the right & left @ the same time Glenn Volvo Certified Technician ASE Certified Technician
