Re: 1999 Volvo V70 (base) Quit for No Reason?

Re: 2004 S60 Quick Struts and Sway Bar Links

I've been disappointed with longevity when using anything other than genuine Volvo sway bar links on my P80s. Haven't had to replace them on a P2 yet, but I'd go genuine if I had to replace them. Worst of the aftermarket for me were IPD "heavy duty" but that was years ago under prior owner...
