I pulled the suspension off my '81 240 and took them with bushings to a reputable suspension shop "experienced with Volvos". Big mistake. Now my car clunks over bumps. I wish I had removed the bushings and attached the replacements properly like the other post suggested.

After I save up the money, I'm gonna have to replace the panhard rod and its bushings, probably the trailing arms and their bushings, and also the front control arms and their bushings. Big bummer.

Generally I will not take my car to the Volvo dealer (I prefer my independent Volvo repair guy). I just might take my next suspension repair to the dealer, however.
