That's just what I need! Can anyone tell me the part numbers for Volvo approved tennis balls, please?

100% agree. Use only OEM Volvo balls, aftermarket won't last.

Tennis balls burst, bloody useless. Get the harder solid rubber balls your dog chews on. I've seen them used quite successfully on rear suspension when towing....
