very common for them to fail.

I replaced all 3 motor and gearbox mounts and I did not solve the problem... until I replaced the control arms.

especially when knocking during turns I would assume it could well be the control arms.
Hi, I'm going to replace most of the bits one at a time, just this one is the main issue to sort first.

I've been give the part number 532A77 (VOLVO 30666627) from Eurocarparts for an OEM part, which is a bit different to the model I was expecting without looking under the car

I was expecting 532C79 (VOLVO 30680339) based on people talking about replacing it with the Ford Focus St225 part.

Can someone confirm this part or is it easy enough to fit and should I change both?
