Hello,

I was putting brake pads on my wife's V90 last week and saw that the bushings on the rear end of the front control arms are in need of being replaced, again. They are quite torn and there is much fore/aft movement on the front wheels.

The stinker is I did these not very long ago, and it was a tough job getting them pressed into the control arms. I don't want to do this so often. Not sure who I bought them from or what brand they are. Perhaps this is one of those parts best sourced from the dealer?

So the question is, is there an upgraded bushing? I found for 960 that IPD offers an upgraded version. Will these fit a V90? Some parts sites indicate the OEM bushings are the same part number for the 960 and V90, but looking at the IPD bushings, they don't look anything like what's in the car.

Thanks for any guidance.

Scott
