Where can i find a set of bushes for the rear end ?

Amonra · Post by **Amonra** » Thu May 25, 2006 11:59 pm

I hear you guys are mostly happy about the 480 handling but it is not so with mine. she looses her grip from the rear sometimes and leans a lot in corners so im guessing that my bushes are worn.

So where can i find a complete set of bushes for all four wheels ?
it must be someone that will ship to Malta ( preferably cheap shipping costs too )
hat would be the approximate cost fo the entire set ?

Thanks

try volvo dealer

also ebay has some fronts

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-440-460-480 ... dZViewItem LEFT SIDE

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-440-460-480 ... dZViewItem RIGHT SIDE

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-440-460-480 ... dZViewItem State what side you want

Trust me mate, YOU WILL need new front wish bone bushes (auto and manual wishbones are not the same!)

also try www.eurocarparts.com and www.gsfcarparts.com

The Maltese Volvo dealer never has anything and when he does have it costs about four times as much as in the UK.

Thanks for those links.
Another question though what does the full set consist of ?
Im a newbie so i need all the help i can get.

My 480 is a turbo, manual, 1992

Anyone ?

I'd say you answered your own question.

VanDerGraaf · Post by **VanDerGraaf** » Sat May 27, 2006 12:47 pm

Just buy it all if you can afford to!

Amonra · Post by **Amonra** » Sun May 28, 2006 1:08 am

I'm gonna need all of it ?

ouch!

it looks like it's gonna cost me a lot

VanDerGraaf · Post by **VanDerGraaf** » Sun May 28, 2006 9:14 am

I don't know if you will at all- that's just a lot of part numbers but no real descriptions of the parts.
I would take Martins advice to begin with (new shocks, front wishbone bushes, front and rear droplinks) and see how the car feels after that.
It may be enough for you, it may not.
If not, you can then go on to replacing various other bits!

Do what I said or get under your car and have a look for worn bushes.

there look cracked if faulty

new shocks and wishbone bushes will make the car sooooooooo much better

i just ordered the following from https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/default.php:

4 x 400 Series (lower arm) Bush (85.1810) = Â£26.76
1 x 400 Series Drop Link (Front Left Hand N/S) (85.6129) = Â£10.30
1 x 400 Series Drop Link (Front Right Hand O/S) (85.6130) = Â£10.30
1 x 400 Series Front Brake Discs (Pair) NOT VENTED (MDC732) = Â£24.35
1 x 400 Series with hub Rear Brake Discs (MDC733) = Â£35.80
1 x 400 Series Front Brake Pads (ABS) (MDB1640) = Â£29.43
1 x 400 series 88'-96' (Not 1.9TD) Rear Brake Pads (MDB1459) = Â£22.80
1 x 400 Series (Turbo)Clutch Kit (40.333) = Â£87.04

for a total of Â£312.28 including shipping to Malta

it seems like a fair price or did i overpay ?

The good thing about this seller is that he has original volvo part numbers for reference so i knew exactly what i was buying and made sure it was correct

Amonra · Post by **Amonra** » Mon May 29, 2006 12:20 pm

Not so sure, as they are producers. I think that on partsforvolvo.com they have scantech products so ask them if they can have more parts.
