This is a subframe bushing insert I modeled for the P2 and P80 chassis Volvo's. It is inspired by the IPD Subframe Bushing inserts (linked below). I bought a spare bushing and created my own design as shipping their parts to Canada was fairly expensive after shipping and taxes/duties. The subframes on those chassis have "open-window" style bushings that allow lots of flex to create a smooth/quiet ride. When trying to lift or lower the car to get more performance out of the vehicle, these bushings have a tendency to wear easily and get a lot of slack; causing bad alignments, , clunking, sluggish response, etc. These inserts fill the windows in your new or worn bushings to make them much stiffer than stock. Simply unbolt the subframe bolts one at a time, remove the large washer, apply a bit of grease or silicone-based lubricant to the insert and put it in, then replace the washer and bolt (watch the IPD Install video linked below). Fitment is as follows:
