Control arm bushings & ball joints. Scan Tech or Meyle or OEM??? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Dan in NY on  Tue Jan 11 09:46 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Last summer, I needed ball joints for my 855T. For most 850s, including your 1996, you can't just do ball joints. They are integrated into the control arms. So, I ordered the complete lower control arms -- which includes ball joints and bushings -- from Erie Volvo. These are recycled parts, fyi, but they looked absolutely new. They were cheap (maybe $25 each? $35? Don''t remember), and they have worked perfectly. Don't know about installation, my indy mechanic did the work.

Try www.erievovo.com. Good luck.
