Can anyone tell me where I might find new Delta links (trailing arms) for my rear suspension? The arms on the car now are bent and need to be replaced. The dealer wants $540 each or $1070+ tax, which is expensive. My rear tires are wearing too much on the outside because the mechanic cannot get it into spec.

Thanks

Rick--compare Volvo Houston 1-800-468-0041 before buying from FCPGroton. I find the latter more expensive. I buy all my Volvo parts from Houston. Volvo parts vary a lot from dealer to dealer, basically what they think the traffic will bear, but if you tell your local dealer you can get the same part for so much from another dealer, many times they will match the price and you save yourself shipping.

I drive a 97R wagon and would be curious to know what you consider the best all-season radial. I'm sitting here in the Willamette Valley (Oregon) and we're wet nine months out of the year almost. I wanted something that rode quite and gripped the pavement like a cat on a rug. I've looked at a lot of different tire sizes before discovering that I could only use a 40 to 50 series on it but not a 55, which is standard on all the T-5's but not the R apparently because of the sport suspension. When I bought it, it had 215-40-17's on the front and 215-45-17's on the back. Toyos on the front, Dunlops on the back. What a bastard mix. Have to buy a new set shortly. Have checked tirerack.com, but need more information before I can make an intelligent choice. Any recommendations much appreciated. Dick

I run Falken 205-45-17's which from my experience seem to do very well in rain and get about 20k miles on a set if you drive nice--15k if you take tight corners. I get them at Discount tire for roughly $100 ea.

Thanks for the advice on the dealers. FCP doesn't carry the links--dealer only, but I will give that dealer a call and see what they offer.

FCPGroton?

They don't sell them--dealer item.
