again, i refer to dave shannon's page, who has superbly detailed differences in oem vs. aftermarket bushings (such as scan-tech). search dave shannon volvo & it'll be there.

go with boge, oem stuff. fcp groton prices can't be beat. if you do the ball joints, get federal/moog at fcp, also.

front control arm bushings don't go out that often as far as i noticed. i have an 86 wagon, and i replaced all of the front suspension anyway, and the front control arm bushings were still in pretty good shape.

i replaced all bec i did most of the work myself except those darn front c-a-bs.
noticeable difference in the drive, though.

get upgraded sway bars from a turbo or ipd upgrades (25mm fr/22 mm rear). i also put in bilstein t/class struts & shocks, and i did the strut mounts while i had the struts out.

if you get the sway bars, get the poly sway bar link bushings.

strut mounts, skf brand from again, fcp. good service & prices from nick at fcp.

just my experience. others
