On-Line parts source?

Post by Redbox »

Hi all-

Just wondering if anyone has any favorite spots on the web to order Volvo parts. Went to my local places (NAPA, etc.) looking for an upper engine mount, with no luck. So, who's good on line?

Sorry to not answer your question ;-), but you should read up on polyurethane vs. OEM rubber before deciding where to buy from. Just do a search. Any of the four big sponsors at the top of the page should have both.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Yes, it's fine to post parts stores who aren't sponsors. The free flow of information is what MVS is about. Here's more on my thinking concerning that.

What's not ok is posting four question marks ;-). (I only care about it in titles because those get shown in so many places.)

I always check out fcpgroton.com because they have great service, specials, great everyday prices and can often get original Volvo parts even if they only list the aftermarket version.
I also always check eeuroparts.com because they have a great website, a low minimum for free shipping, and lots of detailed diagrams and photos of parts. They have higher prices on some things than fcpgroton but carry some things that fcp doesn't.
I also generally check with Don Snyder at Darryl Waltrip Volvo in Tennessee (I live in NC so shipping isn't too far). Often Don Snyder's prices are lower for the original in-the-blue-box Volvo part than an aftermarket part. I love that!
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

I use eEuroparts very often: if it's in stock, and I order before 6pm, it'll be at my door the next morning by 9.

Thanks everyone for the info.

I am thinking of doing the poly bushing. It's the only thing I've found on Ebay so far.

I would also add IPD to the list of great online sources. I've ordered from them a few times and it comes pretty quick. The best thing to do is check around for the best deal. I have bought things from FCP that IPD also carried but because of the difference in price or shipping, and vise versa I went with the cheapest one. Good luck with the mounts!! :)
