hi Alain
visual checks yes....to see if the bushes are damaged, or even if you have a bent panhard rod, or even just loose etc.
theres also the anti-roll bar drop links on the rears which could have gone...also rear springs could be a fault....but my initial guess is panhard rod.
i wouldnt go to the hassle of replacing bushes as the complete parts arent prohibitively expensive, compared to the amount of work required pressing in new bushes.
martinhomles' thread here http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/vi ... ht=panhard
has some good pictures of the panhard and arb drop links about half way down the first page.....might be of help?
