I strongly recommend that you consider Tasca Volvo. Tasca sells OEM (Blue Box Volvo) parts for about the same (sometimes less) than the usual parts suppliers (IPD, FCP, eEuro, Viva, etc).

http://www.tascaparts.com

That part is about $111 for the OEM/Dealer part. So probably looking at an extra $20 for the "Good Stuff"

Unless you are desperate, I do not recommend going aftermarket on any critical part of the suspension, steering, or cooling system - unless it's a *real* upgrade aftermarket part (Swaybars, Poly Bushings, Silicone Hoses, etc)

To me, the lower price almost always means lower quality. The potential of having to replace the same part in a couple months means that instead of paying an OEM price and labor, you get to pay the aftermarket price plus labor at least twice.


As far as replacement/maintenance parts, I don't trust any of the non-OEM stuff that FCP or IPD sells. I've been burned by FCP too many times to consider them a reliable source for correct quality parts.
