98V70 NA - Control Arm - Meyle service experience

Post by **98v70dad** » 03 Oct 2016, 07:26

Does anyone have any service experience with the Meyle HD or regular duty control arms? I'm wondering how long they've lasted for you?

I typically put in Lemforder suspension parts. But, If the Meyle's last a decent length of time, control arms are easy enough to replace and they are very reasonably priced.

Lemforder's are my first choice. Control arms are easy enough to replace so I'm asking if people have had good service with the Meyle HD's. If a Meyle HD lasts 5 years and the Lemforder lasts 10 or 20 maybe its worth putting on the cheaper part.

I know that Lemforder's are considered the best option. However, my question was not what do you recommend. Thanks for the reply, though.

Meyle HD is excellent product.Probably would last more than OEM.
Regular Meyle is average quality.

If you don't get many replies, consider searching this topic. There are dozens of posts about exactly this question. Here is one good thread, in part because it includes a link to Lemforder control arms for only $90 each, free shipping: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... hp?t=77072

Yes. Good advice. I did find that thread a link for the lemforders before I posted. Nearly everyone who has posted in the past was fairly happy with the meyle HD's I think, but then most of them said they had only been on a few thousand miles. That's why I posted what seems like a redundant question. Most of the service experience I found was for fairly new parts installed for a year or less. Most anything will last a year unless it sees a lot of abuse.

Plus on what Misha stated. The HD are excellent quality. Regular Meyle I found May last 15K miles if that.
