2007 XC90 D5 SUSpension

TWM

HI All

Love the XC90

I want to tighten up the suspension and need some advice on the most common things to change especially in the rear. I have done the front control arms ball joints and links but not sure im happy with them.

I am probably due for front and rear shocks, and rear bushes.

Also seem to have loose ghost steering.

Can anyone offer some advice for bit and places to by or someone to check it out for me.

Best Regards.

PS had lots of fun with oil coolers leaking!

Poly bushes are available

I put them in the link arm in front of back wheel as they are renown for being worn out.

Powerflex ones.

Rear shocks are self leveling and probably blown.

You need the same as replacement.

Rear top shock mount is a common wear item on high km rough roads.

Subframe bushes can be flogged out/sagged and cause vague steering and clunks. There's poly inserts available that firm them up.

Don't overlook engine mounts either as the diesel engines are fairly hard on them.
