On a budget but still don't want rubbish! Any suggestions other than Volvo? FCP has the following options:

I would go with Febi- I believe they are OEM for Volvo...also Rein isn't bad. Both have good ratings. Strange that one guy gave the Febi a poor rating as it "melted to goo" or something like that with the heat. The Rein which is less expensive had no negatives at all. It's not too hard to replace - just have to jack the car up on that end from under the oil pan a little bit. I'd say it's your call- amazed at how much the Volvo mount costs compared to these two. As you can see the Febi is identical to it...

Lemforder is OEM. Strange that FCP isn't carrying one.

Neil, I put in a Febi. I asked RSPI on his installation video how it'd held up and he said it was still going strong. One note, I hate how the black plastic coating kinda came apart after installation. But it seems identical to the Volvo one that was in there.

I spent hours searching for the Lemforder one. All I could find on Amazon was the one for the four-bolt control arm...

Thanks for the guidance guys. Appreciate you helping me control the costs on this! Plan is not to keep the car, but to sell on. I can only do this if I know the car will be safe and reliable for say a student.

I'll probably go with the Febi part from FCP as the killer for us Canucks is shipping from US. As I am placing an order with FCP, the addition of a few parts makes little affect on the shipping cost.

I am also asking a friend with access to WorldPac that I know are used by the trade. I have to believe their parts would be good as no repair shop wants a redo on a repair. I'll find out and report back!

I am ordering it through Worldpac that a neighbor has access to. Don't know the brand yet, but I work on the fact that they don't sell stuff to repair shops that are poor quality to prevent claims.

Let you know what turns up....!

Nice to get lucky on parts for once!
