The bolts werent my problem it was not having enough hands when trying to use the vice to push the bush back in.

I paid under that for my bushes, but if you are a member of the the Volvo owners club, certain suppliers give you 40% discount. :D

Where from chris??...my car failed mot last year on these, so i took it to a dodgy place instead as they were only cosmetically cracked in my mind.

Want to do them now though.

pulls to the left

Murf i thought that all ES's pulled to the left because the passenger side drive is shorter than the driver side (centrafuge etc)????or is that your lowered turbo with standard anti roll bar???

I read that too, think on the dutch site? but they are nothing like equal length!

The driveshafts between ES and Turbo are identical, i have turbo driveshafts in mine. Edd has ES driveshafts on his with the turbo engine.

not necessarily, I had hollow one on this ES, and a solid one on my old red one.
