Rear trailing arm replacement
Posted: Sun May 22, 2022 3:24 pm
Hi folks,
I'm still working away at getting my 1994 Volvo 480 2.0 back on the road, all metalwork, welding, etc, done so starting to re-assemble the rear axle.
I've seen Jay-Kay-Em's great post on renewing the bushes on the rear, however as I've only got a basic hydraulic press (spring compressor type so not the right fittings!) I'm apprehensive to go down the pressing bush out, back in route.
I've been searching everywhere to see if you can get the rear trailing arms complete, but doesn't appear there are any sources for them at all. Does anyone know of any sources? I've tried all the usuals and nobody seems to have them now.
If not, I'll go down the bush pressing route thanks to the good info on the forum.
Thanks in advance folks,
Andy
