Has anyone been able to give feedback on these from FCP?
Volvo Rear Suspension Bushing Kit (Urethane Torque Rod Bushing) 240RKITU1

They seem to be priced reasonably. However, I know that not everything is always as it looks!

This picture is not showing Poly Torque Rod Bushings. The Polys are not in a shell.

Personally I would buy the Ploy Torque rod bushings ( Qty 4) and the two Trailing arm bushing (rear/axle mounted side) and forget the Panhard bushings and the Front Trailing arms.. they have solid rubber in the Shell so basically they 'never' go bad

Hi,

Usually the bushing kits are made up of lower quality bushings/brands.

This is NOT something you want to gamble on. It will waste your time and money.

Go with Boge/Sachs, Lemfoerder, or OEM Volvo bushings if you want rubber bushings. All three are the same so get whatever is cheapest.

If you go with poly bushings get the multi-piece bushings as they are easier to install-sometimes poly bushings are cheaper than rubber ones and some people like them due to ease of installation.
