Just bringing up an old thread here guys.

Just had my XC90 2006 3.2 petrol serviced and I asked the garage to investigate a knock when I press the accelerator pedal.

The feedback on this investigation was that the front suspension was "weak" and that I should pencil in replacing these within the next year. He also suggested the suspension arms as well, to firm up the front and improve the ride, and I assume stop the knock.

It looks like an expensive one with four hours labour into the mix.

I should have asked more questions as it was MOT'd on the same day and there was no mention in the advisories on the suspension, which left me scratching my head.

Assuming I go ahead and get this work done, what is the difference in price between OEM parts and AM parts and what are peoples experiences of cheaper AM parts if fitted?
