front end noises S60 2004

posted by  someone claiming to be dpsc on  Sun Oct 29 14:35 CST 2017 [RELATED]

Well, after much reading after posting this note, I've decided that a complete control arm kit will be my next repair. Since everything in the kit has rubber bushings (control arms, ball joints, anti-sway bar links and tie rod ends) it seems like the logical repair for a 2004 model. Also, there are many repair videos on youtube about the P2 chassis and front end repairs. The car only has 100,000 miles, but it's age is a clear indication of why the bushings are brittle.

My other question and how it relates to the repair is cost, and the manufacturers who produce non-Volvo OE replacement parts.

FCP Euro has a kit with all the items mentioned above for $374. Sounds like a decent price, but I'm unclear about Lemforder/Meyle parts.

Lemforder seems associated with MB and I've seen the Meyle brand on volvo sites as alternate choices for a better price. Are these parts just as good?
