trying to adapt other wishbone bushes... (SOLVED)
let's start from beggining...
in Romania, where i live, local part store and dealers have only the whole wishbone arm for 4XX series, (115Euro/piece), and nobody can bring to me just the bushes.... so...
I started to search other bushes to adapt in, the nearest for application was wishbone bush for ford mondeo, code 985203, which is smaller than the volvo ones. Next step is to make an adaptor(metal piece between wishbone and the new bush.
The price for mondeo bush is 4,5 Euro (vat included) made by Ruville.
Whish me luck!

Similar to those, but with the same shape of the rubber inside(with 2 gaps), and the seller recommand me Ruville for durability.
I expect some harder evolution, and certanely i will let you know.
