anyone ever swapped out the upper & lower dog bone, shaped rear axel
suspension braces? how long of a job is this? something a shadetree
set can handle...or, more of a dealer / volvo shop item??
What car?
There are things that sound like your description on a 740 (torque
rods). They run longitudinally in a subframe.
Easy enough to do if you have clear access under the car; I ran the
back wheels up some ramps. The top one is a bit awkward to get a
spanner on, but not impossible. If the rubber bushes need changing
this can be done by hacking out the old ones and squeezing in the new
ones with a big vice and some soapy water. If you are just replacing
the whole rod, then it could be a half hour job (which means allow two
hours).
When replacing the rods you may have to put a jack under the nose of
the differential to get the bolt holes to align.
