Update
Just thought I’d share an update to this one to close it out.
The issue has been resolved. The fix, as many suggested, was to opt for genuine Volvo control arms.I also replaced both lower ball joints when I was in there. After that work, two new tyres and a wheel alignment (got 4 wheel alignment) was required. Not a cheap exercise by any means - but has totally transformed the way the car drives. If I’d have known then what I know now, I’d have opted for the genuine arms in the first instance (I didn’t have a choice - arms were fitted by mechanic) - that way, my tyres(not too long new) could have possibly been saved also (the fitting of the non genuine arms + wheel alignment that was done after caused scuffing to the otter sides of the tread on both front tyres). *************** Parts Volvo Control Arms (+bolts) - £650 Ball Joints (x2) - £35 Pirelli Scorpion Tyres (x2) + 4 wheel alignment - £340 Non genuine arms + fitting - £220 (that I’ll never get back) **************** |
