S60 Suspension: Front Wishbone (front) bush replacement?

[coughlanc]

Hi Thassos. I replaced bushes in my 2000 P2 v70 about 3 months ago. I used OEM bushes. I changed back and front bushing in front wishbones. Removed wheel, drive shaft bolt then ensured that drive shaft was not pulled out.
Removed wishbones and used large vice and socket to press out old bushing. quick clean up with emery cloth and bit of copper slip and new bushes pressed straight in.
Just to be safe I took a couple of measurements of depths of bushing and angle that front one was installed at.
Both sides took about 4 hours total.
Before refitting wheels I had 2nd person turning steering from lock to lock whilst I rotated hub to ensure that CV joints had remained intact.
Not a bad job. Fear not and good luck
