I have a 2001 V70T5 with 123,000 miles that has a recurring problem with the front suspension. I have had the control arm bushings and ball joints replaced on both sides, plus both struts, antisway bar end links, tie rods end, etc.
After approx. 6 months after doing all of the above, the front bushings on the control arms are broken again (cracked). My wife drives the car and is pretty conservative in her driving. I replace the right side bushings myself and the local shop did the left.
Is there a known problem with this year and model?
Thanks for any suggestions.
