Replacing Front end suspension parts

Post by DXC70 »

I about to order the bushing and parts to rebuild the front end on my 92 240 sedan.
Two things I've been reading are...Replace the Control Arms don't try to replace the bushings and two buy OEM Volvo parts and bushings.

I do like the ride of the 240 as is and I don't think I would like a sports car feel to ride and handling. With that said, is OE Volvo parts the way to go and where is the best place to get the parts?

Unless you have the Volvo shop tools, then buy the control arm, with bushings installed.
