Rear suspension Volvo 140/164 (1970-72)

Knocking in the rear end over bumps and a rear axle that wanders sideways usually comes down to dry bushings and worn-out bump rubbers. On the 140/164 of model year 1970-72 the control arms and torque rods hold the rear axle in place, and once the rubber loses its elasticity the ride becomes jumpy and tire wear turns uneven.
