1991 940 front swaybar endlink OEM options?

Post by mike: »

Hey Guys,


I just picked up a new-to-me 1991 940 wagon and it needs at a minimum, front sway bar endlinks as they have rusted out. I see IpdUSA is a big and well known parts supplier but their 2 reviews for the "pin-style" endlinks have me less than eager to buy from them, are there other OEM or aftermarket parts suppliers that supply quality parts.

For what its worth, the car is a non-turbo, 5 door wagon with an 6 speed engine swap and it is significantly lowered on Ipd "R" wheels and what looks to be cut rear springs. I will be updating and upgrading the suspension so I'm gearing towards a solid feel over ride comfort, but front end suspension is my first priority.

Thanks

Well, I've had nothing but great experience with IPD's parts over the years. They've engineered some nice updates to Volvo components known to have issues, like the notorious motor mounts on the 850/V70 series cars.

If I were you, I wouldn't be too swayed by the reviews. Was the critical review addressing fitment, or part failure of some such? I have a hard time believing the latter, considering the great experiences I've had with them.

I purchased end link kits for my 88 765 at NAPA. They were Meyle brand made in Germany. Check www.napaonline.com
