Lessons have been learned.
Avoid URO. Anything listed as "Aftermarket" at IPD could end up being URO.
With these control arms, I'm really irked here because IPD is only selling a low-quality part and not disclosing that it's URO. I saw that it was aftermarket, but not seeing another option, I trusted that they didn't sell junk...
...and learned another lesson - they do sell junk, if you happen to own a less-common car.
Maybe I am wrong in my thinking, but we as Volvo owners have a pact of sorts with IPD. We pay a premium and expect quality.
I'll say right now, I can get almost all of the performance parts that IPD sells for 10%-20% cheaper from places like Viva Performance.
I paid an extra $30.00 for these stainless lines because I was paying for the quality that IPD parts represent.
The vast majority of the folks I sit in traffic with don't care that I have IPD license plate frames or understand what that symbolizes about how I care about my car, or the safety and performance equipment that I have added to my car.
They do care if I rear-end them because some trusted IPD brake part turned out to fit and seal poorly.
