Meyle, Lemforder, Sachs are Volvo suppliers, so you really can’t go wrong.

Quality, especially the bushes. I bought some "standard" arms from PFV, the bushes are made out of cheese, only lasted a few months. Meyle HD items on now, and still perfect after several years, the material the bushes are made from appears similar to that of polybushes, so very tough and long lasting. I suspect that the ball joint is of equally good quality too.

Worth the money IMHO.

Another positive vote for Meyle HD. Much, much better than Volvo original. Not used standard Meyle, so cannot compare with HD, but HD are good.

Yet another vote for meyle hd control arms. Tried a cheap pair of control arms, they lasted about a year. Meyles still going strong.
