good day people,
checking out online parts for my 850. Need a passenger side front control arm (lower) with ball joint etc.
question: does anyone know of "partsonline.com" or more specifically "partsonlinecanada.com". Here in Ontario, I checked with UAP and NAPA and both are telling me $277.00-$350.00 for part, but "partsonlinecanada.com" has it delivered to my door for $87.00 plus tax. Is this too good to be true, or cheap parts which wont last a year.
your opinion is appreciated as always.

thanks

I was trying to check a few sites for you but my internet is being picky right now... Apparently it likes this page. But not http://www.fcpgroton.com/ which is where i was trying to go.
Check them out and see. He is pretty cool and frequents the forums so if you have trouble you could always PM Fcp for help. or even post here.
Or even try here.

They are relativity cheap.

Also.. I am so on that site if things are that cheap.

Btw, beware of napa. Some parts are dirt cheap, others cost alot more.

Perhaps im doing it wrong, but its not working for me.

Have you tried autopartsway.ca ? Bought Akebono brake pads from them. Don't know what else they might handle....

Many lower priced parts are cheap for a reason. Run Away!
Call DW for a good price on REAL Volvo parts:

You can always buy those "aftermarket" (aka Scancrap) parts, with "lifetime warranty" you will keep yourself busy sending crap out parts back and replacing crappy parts. BTW, you need pay the shipping too.
